Avetta, leader in intelligent work readiness across global supply chains, today introduced Supplier Sustainability Risk Diagnostic. New service complements Avetta supplier risk mapping capabilities by combining AI-assisted analysis with deep expertise of Avetta industry-leading Risk Advisory practice to help hiring clients identify environmental, social and governance ESG risk across broader supplier and contractor populations. By providing visibility into specific, topic-level sustainability risk that may warrant deeper due diligence, diagnostic helps organizations prioritize where attention needed and determine practical next steps. In turn, gives suppliers and contractors greater clarity into client expectations and opportunities to improve ESG maturity. News announced in conjunction with Avetta Summit Series event taking place in London.
Supplier Sustainability Risk Diagnostic arrives as many organizations struggle to keep pace with rising supply chain risk and regulatory pressure, such as European Union Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive. Recent research suggests 77% of organizations report increased supply chain and workforce risk over past 12 months, while 71% also say compliance requirements grown more complex over same period. Yet only 44% have fully centralized, real-time visibility into third-party risk factors. With 50% identifying improved predictive risk visibility as top strategic priority, findings point to growing need for tools that help leaders move from fragmented data to actionable insight and more proactive decision-making.
Many organizations know sustainability risk exists within supply chains, but often struggle to determine where attention needed most. Too often, sustainability teams forced to make important decisions with only partial visibility into where risk may exist, spending valuable time determining which suppliers, geographies or issues warrant closer examination. Supplier Sustainability Risk Diagnostic helps businesses focus efforts with rapid topic-level insights, make more informed decisions and engage supply chain network more effectively. Suppliers and contractors then gain clearer visibility into evolving requirements so they can focus improvement efforts where matter most.
Designed as practical starting point for risk-based human rights and environmental due diligence, Supplier Sustainability Risk Diagnostic uses AI-assisted insights together with Avetta Risk Advisory expertise to evaluate vast supplier populations across factors such as industry, material business activity and geographic and regulatory jurisdictions to identify areas where sustainability-related exposure may be concentrated. Solution can assess suppliers and contractors both inside and outside Avetta community, helping organizations gain broader understanding of potential risk and prioritize supplier and contractor engagement around topics such as human rights, modern slavery, greenhouse gas emissions, conflict minerals, water and waste.
Unlike solutions that simply generate risk scores or flags, Supplier Sustainability Risk Diagnostic also leverages Avetta Risk Advisory experts to help customers interpret results, understand business implications and determine appropriate next steps. In this way, diagnostic builds on same risk mapping approach Avetta uses to help organizations identify and manage risk across not only sustainability, but health and safety, financial management, procurement and operations as well, providing connected view of supply chain risk and areas for improvement.
Sustainability landscape becoming increasingly complex as organizations face growing expectations from regulators, investors, customers and public. Businesses need practical ways to move beyond broad assessments and translate sustainability data into meaningful action. Approaches that merge scalable analysis with expert interpretation can help companies on both sides of supply chain make more informed decisions and drive continuous improvement.
