Due diligence advisory
We offer two key services:
(1) rapid gap analysis, and
(2) systems-policy advisory
to ensure that your operations and supply chains include safe, fair and legal conditions.
Rapid gap analysis
Legislation preparedness. We keep track of new and forthcoming due diligence legislation, highlight the changes, and what it means for your business.
Business review. Your businesses public disclosures will then be reviewed against the latest international legislation and directives. We provide analysis and insight on the direction your business needs to take.
Gap assessment. We provide a macro system assessment of what is needed to fulfill due diligence requirements, listing out strengths and existing gaps, before we proceed to the next step: systems advisory.
Systems-policy advisory
Policies and codes. We draft, review, and update your business policies and codes of conduct related to due diligence. This can include ethical recruitment, sustainable sourcing, fair labor frameworks, and workplace health and safety.
Systems advisory. We advise you on how to integrate due diligence in your governance and business functions, in critical areas such as recruitment, procurement and supplier management, and help you establish supplier evaluation risk screenings. Embedding due diligence takes more than having the right policies and codes of conduct. It means making due diligence commitments a part of day-to-day operational reality across your organization.
Our approach
Ground-up
By partnering with everyone from factory workers to global regulators, we ensure our insights are grounded in reality. This way, we can surface the issues that traditional shipment data often overlooks.
Actionable
We turn complex findings into clear, practical tools that you can use immediately. Our focus is on fixing the root causes of supply chain friction rather than just managing the surface-level symptoms.
Comprehensive
We work alongside governments, businesses, and local communities to build a complete picture of the supply chain. We collaborate with businesses of all sizes and industry bodies.
Innovative
We use agile techniques to find facts in "hard-to-study" areas. Our methods go beyond standard checklists to capture the deep-tier information that traditional research methods miss.
