Supplier ESG and BRSR Value Chain Assessment
Assess, engage and disclose the ESG performance of your value chain partners as a technology-driven managed service. Powered by ESGSlate, our value chain ESG platform, we take you from partner identification to BRSR-ready disclosure and independent assurance.
Overview
What Value Chain ESG Assessment Means
Value Chain ESG Assessment is how you measure, improve and report the ESG performance of your upstream and downstream partners. Under SEBI BRSR, listed companies must now disclose the ESG performance of their key value chain partners, credibly and with assurance. Your own numbers are no longer enough.
We run the whole cycle for you: identify the partners that matter, collect and analyse their ESG data on one secure platform, close the gaps, and produce a disclosure that stands up to assurance.
Why Now
Value Chain ESG Is Now a Disclosure Duty
The rules are here. Our assessment aligns to the SEBI BRSR framework and the GRI Standards.
BRSR Value Chain
Listed companies must disclose the ESG performance of key value chain partners, with assurance.
Scope 3 and Climate
Most of your emissions and ESG risk sit in the value chain, not your own operations.
CSRD and CSDDD
Companies selling into Europe face value chain reporting and due diligence duties.
Investor Pressure
Investors and lenders now screen value chain ESG risk before they commit.
Buyer Requirements
Global buyers demand supplier ESG data as a condition of doing business.
Reputation and Cost
Weak value chain ESG means disruption, higher cost of capital and brand risk.
