Supply Chain ESG
Risk Scanner

The tool identifies multiple ESG risk categories including governance corruption, forced labor prevalence, environmental impact (deforestation, emissions), climate vulnerability, regulatory non-compliance, and human rights violations. Risks are assessed at both direct supplier and upstream dependency levels.

Risk assessments are based on comprehensive data from authoritative sources including World Bank governance indicators, ILO forced labor data, Global Forest Watch deforestation metrics, and OECD input-output tables. While highly informative for risk prioritization, results should be supplemented with supplier-specific due diligence for critical decisions.

The tool requires a CSV file with three columns: Supplier Name, Country, and Sector. Supplier names should be unique identifiers, countries should use standard ISO codes or full names, and sectors should be descriptive (e.g., 'Automotive Manufacturing', 'Textile Production', 'Electronics Assembly'). The tool includes sector normalization to ensure accurate analysis.

Upstream risk analysis uses OECD Inter-Country Input-Output (ICIO) tables to identify supply chain dependencies up to 3 tiers deep. Each supplier sector is mapped to ICIO codes, and the tool calculates propagated risks from upstream suppliers using input-output coefficients, focusing on dependencies with ≥5% input requirements for materiality.

Yes, the tool supports multiple regulatory frameworks including CSRD (Article 29a supply chain due diligence), CSDDD (supplier risk management), and SEC Climate Rules. Risk scores help prioritize suppliers for enhanced due diligence and reporting under these frameworks.

We recommend quarterly assessments for high-risk suppliers and annually for the full portfolio. Critical suppliers in high-risk countries or sectors should be monitored continuously. Risk assessments should also be conducted when onboarding new suppliers or entering new markets.

The tool benefits companies in manufacturing, retail, consumer goods, technology, automotive, textiles, electronics, food processing, and any industry with global supply chains. Particularly valuable for companies with suppliers in high-risk regions like Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Africa.

The tool uses ILO (International Labour Organization) forced labor prevalence data combined with country-level governance indicators and sector-specific risk factors. High-risk sectors like textiles, agriculture, construction, and electronics in countries with weak labor protections receive elevated risk scores. This helps companies comply with forced labor due diligence requirements under CSDDD and modern slavery legislation.

Yes, the tool integrates Global Forest Watch deforestation data to assess environmental risks in sectors like agriculture, forestry, palm oil, soy, cattle, timber, and pulp & paper. Suppliers in high-deforestation countries (Brazil, Indonesia, Malaysia, DRC) operating in forest-risk sectors receive elevated environmental risk scores, supporting EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) compliance.

Upstream risk analysis identifies hidden risks in your suppliers' suppliers (Tier 2, Tier 3) using OECD Inter-Country Input-Output tables. For example, if your electronics supplier sources semiconductors from high-risk regions, those upstream risks propagate to your direct supplier. The tool calculates weighted upstream risk based on input-output dependencies ≥5% to focus on material relationships.

Risk data is updated annually from authoritative sources: World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicators (governance, corruption), ILO forced labor estimates (labor practices), Global Forest Watch (deforestation), ND-GAIN Index (climate vulnerability), and OECD ICIO tables (supply chain dependencies). Country and sector risk profiles are refreshed when new data becomes available from these sources.

Yes, the tool provides comprehensive downloadable reports including overall portfolio risk score, supplier-level risk rankings, risk distribution charts, top high-risk suppliers, and detailed risk breakdowns by ESG category. Reports can be exported for board presentations, regulatory disclosures (CSRD, CSDDD), investor communications, and internal audit documentation.

CSRD Article 29a requires companies to report on supply chain due diligence, including identification and assessment of actual and potential adverse impacts. The tool provides systematic ESG risk assessment across your supplier base, helping identify high-risk suppliers requiring enhanced due diligence, remediation plans, and disclosure under ESRS E1, E2, S1, S2, and G1 standards.

Direct risk is the ESG risk profile of your immediate (Tier 1) suppliers based on their country and sector. Upstream risk captures risks from their suppliers (Tier 2, Tier 3) using input-output analysis. The tool combines both: 70% weight on direct risk (what you can directly influence) and 30% on upstream risk (hidden dependencies), providing a comprehensive risk score for each supplier.

Yes, the Supply Chain ESG Risk Scanner is completely free with unlimited usage. No credit card required, no hidden fees, no usage limits. You can assess as many suppliers as needed, run multiple analyses, and download comprehensive reports at no cost. The tool is designed to democratize access to institutional-grade supply chain risk intelligence.

The tool can process large supplier portfolios with thousands of suppliers in a single analysis. Upload your complete supplier list via CSV file, and the tool will perform comprehensive risk assessment across all suppliers simultaneously. Analysis typically takes 30-60 seconds for 100 suppliers, scaling efficiently for larger portfolios.
