Effectively managing the value chain is essential for comprehensive ESG reporting, especially under the CSRD regulation. Our double materiality system simplifies this process with a set of forms that ask closed-choice questions, covering all ESG topics. Here's how you can leverage our system to handle the value chain in your double materiality assessment.
Focusing on Key Value Chain Components
The official methodology requires addressing the entire value chain. We have streamlined this process by focusing on the most impactful parts: suppliers and final clients. This approach allows you to efficiently assess the value chain's influence on your company's ESG stakes without spending too much efforts considering secondary-level stakeholders in the process.
Assessing ESG Stakes from Multiple Perspectives
To account for the influence of suppliers and final clients on your company's ESG performance, our forms include questions that evaluate each ESG stake from multiple perspectives:
Own Activities: How the ESG stake behaves within your own operations.
Suppliers: How the ESG stake is influenced by your suppliers.
Final Clients: How the ESG stake affects your final clients.
This multi-perspective approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of how different parts of the value chain impact your ESG performance.
Weighing Responses for Accurate Results
After collecting responses, our system properly weighs the answers related to suppliers and final clients in comparison to your company's own activities. This weighted approach ensures that the final result accurately represents the materiality of the entire value chain. By balancing these perspectives, you get a nuanced view of the ESG stakes across your value chain.
