What is Sustainable Supply Chain?
How do companies efficiently gather, analyze, and report the supply chain information they want to see?
Companies must take a smart approach to meeting their corporate responsibility goals and managing risk in their supply chains. Completing due diligence of conflict mineral sources, tracking your supplier’s certifications, ensuring fair labor practices in your supply chain, planning to meet zero-deforestation goals, or tracking GHG emissions, all must be done thoroughly and rigorously.
SCS is at the forefront of supply chain sustainability. We have two decades of experience in developing systems to collect data from suppliers, analyze their information, verify compliance to supplier criteria, and report, whether it is for internal supply chain management or to meet regulatory requirements.

Supplier Data Collection
SCS has decades of experience in crafting and executing supplier data requests. We can help you to focus questionnaires on the information you need, and distribute them only to whom you need it from. We have seen it all and can manage incoming data streams to ensure the efficient management and integrity of supplier information.
Developing Key Performance Metrics
We can help create tailored metrics which give you the information you need to know about your supply chain. How many suppliers are in non-conformance or did not report to your questionnaire? How many are located in high-risk regions? From vendor management databases to supply chain scorecards, we can deliver the sustainability tools and metrics you need to monitor vendor performance to your specifications.
Advanced Monitoring Tools
SCS is on the cutting edge with remote sensing, virtual auditing, and 360-degree video cameras. As a certification body we understand how to create auditing sample sets to effectively certify results without doing onsite audits of every supplier.
Tailored Reporting
SCS can help you create reporting dashboards which provide you with the key information you need to know to make decisions. We can also help create reports which you need to submit to regulators, stakeholders, or investors.
Building positive supplier relationships
