Responsible Sourcing Solutions

Navigating evolving responsible sourcing risks

Credible, sustainable supply chains start here. 

In a market where sustainability matters as much as cost and quality, responsible sourcing has become essential to business success. Risks like forced labour, environmental harm and hidden supplier relationships carry real consequences for reputation, growth and market access. LRQA helps you turn these challenges into your competitive advantage: driving transparency, trust and stronger supplier performance across your supply chain. 

Our experts work with you to:

  • Design and implement a tailored responsible sourcing strategy
    that aligns with an ever-changing market and your company’s unique risk exposure.
  • Source sustainable products and gain consumer trust
    through globally recognised sector standards or specifically designed assessment programs aligned to your exact risks. 
  • Meet regulatory requirements and improve competitive advantage
    with specialist advisory services that can help you not just navigate new regulations but adapt effectively and emerge ahead of your competition. 
  • Gain ongoing insight through continuous supply chain monitoring 
    with EIQ, enabling proactive risk alerts, data-driven insights and dynamic performance tracking.
  • Onboard the right businesses and support suppliers to improve 
    through advanced supplier segmentation and dedicated training aimed at improving standards and meeting your requirements.
