Why supply chain due diligence requires secure reporting channels
Risks related to human rights, labour conditions and environmental impact often arise deep within the supply chain. Without secure and trusted reporting channels, these concerns may go undetected until they escalate.
A secure reporting system enables employees, suppliers and other stakeholders to raise concerns confidentially. This supports effective due diligence by helping organisations identify risks early, investigate issues consistently and document actions taken across the value chain.
