Built for complex food & beverage supply chains, Simvia helps teams manage supplier data, compliance evidence, and sustainability risk across large supplier networks.
Supplier and sustainability data sits across disconnected systems
Risk often sits beyond the first tier of the supply chain
Evidence still comes in through manual questionnaires and email follow-up
Country, commodity, and supplier risks are difficult to link to actual products
Procurement, QA, legal, and sustainability teams work from different datasets
What makes CSDDD compliance difficult for food & beverage supply chains
For sustainability teams, CSDDD is more than a legal requirement. It creates an operational challenge across suppliers, origins, commodities, and internal teams.
Create one source of truth for CSDDD-relevant supplier data
Bring supplier, origin, and compliance data into one structured system. Your team can see where risks may exist and which evidence is already available.
Supplier relationships
Country and origin data
Certifications, declarations, and documents
Traceability and producer information where applicable
Focus on the risks that matter most
Use sustainability risk assessments to identify where human rights and environmental impacts are most likely, and most severe across your supply chain.
Risk views by country, region, supplier, and impact
Clear prioritisation of high-risk areas
Support for risk-based due diligence decisions

Answers to the most asked questions
What is the current state of the CSDDD and should we still prepare for it?
The CSDDD is now in force, with a revised scope and timing. CSDDD now applies to EU companies with over 5000 employees and over %1.5 billion in turnover. If your company is in scope, preparation should start now. The European Commission’s first general guidelines arrive in July 2026, with more following in 2027. Even companies below the threshold should expect requests. Larger companies in scope will ask their suppliers for evidence, and that demand is already moving through food and beverage value chains.
How does CSDDD differ from CSRD and other sustainability regulations we’re already dealing with?
CSRD is about reporting, CSDDD is about action. CSRD requires you to publish sustainability information whereas the CSDDD requires you to identify, prevent, mitigate and account for human rights and environmental impacts across your chain of activities. The connection point is supply chain data. The same evidence like supplier information, country and commodity risk, certificates and audits all feeds into CSDDD due diligence and CSRD disclosures. Collect it once, structure it well and reuse across frameworks.
How do we conduct effective risk assessments across our supply chain?
Start where risk is most likely to sit. The CSDDD expects you to map your chain of activities and then identify and prioritise risks through a structured lens, including aspects like country, sector, commodity, supplier and impact. Simvia offers a complete solution to manage supplier compliance and navigate CSRD, CSDDD and EUDR due diligence requirements with precise impact data.
How deep into our supply chain do we need to go for due diligence?
The default is your direct business partners. You should go further when credible information of risk is found. You must extend due diligence to indirect business partners when plausible information suggests an adverse impact has arisen or may arise at their level.
