Supply Chain Due Diligence

Ensure responsible manufacturing with QIMA's specialized services in ESG supply chain due diligence. We help you navigate the complex landscape of environmental and human rights compliance, ensuring your company complies with ESG legislation and fosters best practices. From audits to risk dashboards and more, we provide the tools manufacturers need to enhance due diligence in their supply chains.

Mandatory Due Diligence: Safeguarding Your Supply Chain

Amidst a surge in new global environmental and human rights regulations, competitive companies must adopt strategies to ensure responsible practices and comply with legislation. From voluntary business-led initiatives to mandatory due diligence in supply chains, the evolving landscape demands a proactive stance.

Mandatory due diligence requirements are diverse; they may concentrate exclusively on human rights, encompass environmental considerations, focus on single issues like climate change or forced labor, or work to enhance the traceability of products and commodities. Establishing your due diligence framework requires a robust, risk-based strategy that takes into account regulatory specifications, international ethical standards, and the entire value chain.
