LRQA Responsible Sourcing self-assessment tool
Assess your responsible sourcing maturity and identify your priority risks
Is your responsible sourcing programme risk-ready?
Global supply chains sit under a sharp lens, where responsible sourcing weighs as heavily in procurement decisions as cost and quality. As supply networks stretch across more tiers and territories, gaps in responsible sourcing maturity translate directly into commercial risk – from forced labour and environmental harm to undisclosed supplier relationships that can derail reputation, growth and market access.
To help organisations understand their position, LRQA has developed the Responsible Sourcing self-assessment tool, designed by LRQA’s global ESG, supply chain assurance and compliance specialists. It offers an accessible first step to evaluate current practices, pinpoint priority risks and drive continuous improvement.
Understand your current sourcing performance, instantly.
Our intuitive digital assessment delivers a clear snapshot of your organisation’s responsible sourcing maturity across key areas, including:
- Human rights and labour risks
- Environmental risks
- Ethics and governance risks
- Supplier due-diligence and performance risks
- Traceability and transparency risks
- Incident and emerging-risk readiness
Upon completion, you’ll receive a personalised report highlighting strengths, gaps, and practical recommendations.
