Teams are facing increasing pressure from CSDDD, EUDR, customers and auditors
Generic country and sector risk
sourcing volumes or exposure
Teams are left with a reactive, static and outdated risk assessment approach
Most risk analysis is not linked to the real supply chain, so teams end up reacting to issues instead of staying ahead
Sustainability risk assessment is not about ticking regulatory boxes.
It is about assessing your environmental, social and governance risks in an objective and measurable way
It is about feeling confident that your assessment supports you in complying with upcoming legislation like CSDDD and EUDR.
It is about mitigating risks & taking action according to your priorities.
It is about identifying risks that are impactful to your supply chain and have an effect on your operations
Simvia helps teams move from fragmented, generic risk insights to clear, defensible prioritisation, tailored to your entire supply chain.

questions
Frequently asked questions from the market
How does the sustainability risk assessment work?
The sustainability risk assessment module combines data from 21 different databases including WWF, UNICEF, FAO, and others to score suppliers based on environmental, social, and governance risks. Risk scores range from 1 (lowest risk) to 10 (highest risk) and are calculated based on product, country, region, and volume. This helps you identify which suppliers pose the highest sustainability risks and where to focus your due diligence efforts.
How does Simvia help mitigate sustainability risks?
Once you've identified high-risk suppliers through the risk assessment, you can set up automated requirement rules to collect mitigation documentation. For example, if a supplier has a high water risk score, you can automatically request a Spring certificate. The system connects risk identification directly to mitigation actions.
What ESG risk dimensions does Simvia track?
Simvia tracks comprehensive ESG dimensions including child labor, forced labor, discrimination, freedom of association, working hours, health and safety, water risk, biodiversity, deforestation, soil degradation, greenhouse gas emissions, food loss and waste, and governance indicators. Each dimension pulls from specialized databases to provide accurate regional and product-specific risk scores.
What data sources does the sustainability risk assessment use?
The sustainability risk assessment pulls from 21 databases including WWF (biodiversity, water risk), UNICEF (child labor), ILO (labor standards), FAO (food security), US Department of Labor, Global Slavery Index, and many others. We partner with initiatives like SIFAV (Sustainable Initiative for Fruit and Vegetables) and SSI (Sustainable Spices Initiative) to ensure data accuracy.
