The programme
has to work
in your business.

Your teams have existing systems, supplier relationships and competing demands. We start there.

Our role is to work alongside you, challenge assumptions and help translate the ambition into decisions people can actually make. The tools and processes should become useful to your team, with clear ownership after the engagement.

Designed with the people who will use it.

Set the direction.

Understand your exposure and decide what the programme needs to achieve.

Specialist sourcing & risk advice

Material, country and supplier context for the decisions in front of you.

Assess commodity and raw material risk to inform your sourcing strategy. We design traceability approaches, evaluate certification schemes and analyse alternative sourcing options. We can map applicable requirements and assess gaps in your approach.

What we can leave you with: A focused assessment and recommendations for your sourcing decision.

Strategy & due diligence programme design

Translate responsible sourcing ambitions into responsibilities and practical action.

Identify salient issues and consult stakeholders to develop policies and supplier standards. Design processes for identifying, preventing and addressing harm. Agree the governance and resources needed, then set milestones and measures of progress.

What we can leave you with: A strategy, policy framework and phased implementation roadmap.

Build the foundations.

Connect the relationships, information and procedures your team relies on.

Supply chain mapping & traceability

Establish the businesses, locations and production flows behind your products.

Develop mapping methodologies for your materials and regions. Verify relationships through documents and engagement, then create visual supply chain maps and traceability protocols. Connect the network to commodity, geographic and supplier risk.

What we can leave you with: A supply chain map, information gaps and priorities for further investigation.

Management systems & benchmarking

Make due diligence work within everyday operations.

Review programme maturity and gaps. Develop supplier onboarding and evaluation processes, with clear routes for escalation. Design grievance and remediation processes supported by internal controls. Establish audit protocols and performance monitoring, and prepare for external assessments.

What we can leave you with: Practical policies, procedures and controls, with an implementation plan.

Bring people into it.

Build understanding with the people implementing the programme and those affected by it.

Supplier engagement & capability

Help suppliers understand what is expected and how to improve.

Develop supplier questionnaires and onboarding, with enhanced due diligence where needed. Assess capability and plan corrective actions. Support implementation through targeted technical assistance, supplier working groups and ongoing review.

What we can leave you with: An engagement approach, supplier tools and targeted improvement support.

Stakeholder engagement & impact assessments

Hear from the people whose experience can change your assessment.

Map stakeholders and hear directly from workers and communities. Use that engagement to inform grievance mechanism design. Human rights impact assessments combine research and fieldwork with analysis of actual and potential impacts, mitigation and remediation planning.

What we can leave you with: A contextual assessment and recommendations informed by affected people.

Training & capability building

Equip your team to make informed decisions and use the programme well.

Build knowledge of due diligence fundamentals and sector-specific risks. Develop skills in supplier assessment and audit management, then address impact assessment and grievance mechanisms. Choose workshops or virtual programmes, with executive briefings, e-learning and train-the-trainer sessions to suit your audience.

What we can leave you with: Training tailored to your audience, responsibilities and working context.

Explore audit training

Make progress visible.

Understand what has changed and communicate it with evidence.

Reporting & disclosure support

Build a credible account of your approach, performance and remaining gaps.

Analyse reporting requirements and assess materiality. Design data collection and verification processes that bring together the evidence for your programme and the claims in your disclosures.

What we can leave you with: Reporting guidance, evidence requirements and support developing the disclosure.

Build capability
as you make progress.

A policy is only useful if people know what to do with it. We connect the design of your programme with the conversations, guidance and training needed to put it into practice.

A defined piece of work

A review, workshop, assessment or a specific tool your team needs.

Support with implementation

Hands-on help developing the programme and working through the changes.

Continuing advice

Specialist input as priorities evolve, with a scope and review rhythm agreed together.

Ground the programme in evidence.

Understand your exposure Examine practice on the ground

Starting
the conversation.

Do we need a complete brief before we speak?

No. Bring the question, the difficulty or the change you want to make. We can help define a useful piece of work, the people who need to be involved and the outputs that will support them.

Can you work with our existing programme?

Yes. We start with what is already in place, including your policies, systems and supplier relationships. Support can focus on a specific gap, an implementation challenge or a wider review of the programme.

How does your advice connect with audit and intelligence?

Risk intelligence helps identify where to look and audit can examine practice on the ground. Consultancy helps you use those findings to improve decisions and processes. Each service can be commissioned separately, and the scope and responsibilities are agreed with you.

Is this a fixed package?

No. The examples illustrate how work can connect. We agree the activities, outputs, responsibilities and schedule around your priorities and capacity. A focused workshop or review may be the right starting point.

What would help your
programme move forward?

Bring the challenge you are working through. We will help you turn it into a practical next step.
