Supplier Relations

In today's globally interconnected environment, value chains extend beyond national borders. Companies can no longer rely solely on direct control. Customers now hold them accountable for any errors within their product ecosystem, even when these issues originate from partner companies.

To fulfill customer expectations and achieve true sustainability, global companies must implement responsible business practices throughout their entire value chain, including suppliers, not just within their own organization. Although imposing certain ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) requirements on suppliers might initially appear demanding, it actually provides a significant business opportunity for well-structured suppliers in terms of ESG reporting. These suppliers benefit from increased investments and sales compared to their less organized counterparts.

BBJ Group supports suppliers in addressing questions such as:

• What level of environmental and social reporting is carried out by your direct suppliers, either directly to you or publicly? This includes reporting on key indicators like environmental and social initiatives and their footprint (e.g., carbon or water footprint).
• How do you integrate the participation and performance of your supply chain into your own reporting?
• Have you set measurable internal performance targets related to ESG risk management in the supply chain?
• Have you created a roadmap for enhancing ESG within your supply chain?
