Globalization, worldwide supply chains, new environmental, social and ethical standards, fears about product safety, consumers and NGOs’ pressure: companies now live in an environment where supply chain management is both increasingly challenging and decisive in terms of business performance and risk prevention.

Corporate responsibility is now extending beyond the company’s boundaries to include the global supply chain. The “supplier risk” threatens at any time companies’ brands, reputation, security and business continuity.

Without efficient and reliable systems to measure, manage and improve sustainability performance at all levels of the supply chain, companies are at risk and unable to react to crisis.

The Enablon RSC solution offers companies a real time view on their supply chains’ performance and level of compliance according to social, environmental, ethical and safety standards (SA 8000, ILO convention, internal codes of conduct and ethical charters…)

The system constitutes an ideal platform to drive suppliers and subcontractors toward continuous improvement.

Enablon RSC is a web-based sustainable supply chain management solution which helps companies :

• Inform suppliers on corporate policies and requirements
• Evaluate suppliers’ performance and compliance:
     > International standards : SA 8000, ISO 26000, ILO 
        Convention, etc.
     > Internal guidelines: codes of conduct, ethical charters,
        sustainable procurement policies, etc.
• Plan, perform and document suppliers’ audits
• Communicate audit reports and auditors recommandations
• Propose action plans and monitor the closing of non-conformities
• Benchmark suppliers according to their environmental, social and economical performance.

Enablon RSC also adds value to suppliers by allowing them to:

• Be notified of their customers’ policies and expectations
• Provide visibility on their practices
• Evaluate their compliance and performance level
• Benchmark themselves against their peers
• Consult audit reports
• Track non-conformities evolutions and resolutions
• Document corrective and preventive action plans

Visibility extended across the supply chain

Incorporating QEHS, social and ethical issues into key sourcing decisions requires in-depth analysis of the supply chain compliance.

Enablon RSC facilitates the environmental, social and ethical data collection and consolidation for real-time visibility.
