Tools and methodology for identifying risks in the supply chain

An increasing number of people realize that sustainability efforts and profitability go hand in hand. Understanding your supply chain is now absolutely crucial for both meeting legal requirements and building a future-proof business.

Companies that work systematically with their suppliers often identify significant opportunities for savings, process improvements, and more efficient resource utilization. In a globalized world, where supply chains are long and complex, it is difficult – and often impossible – to manage sustainability work manually. That’s why we at Hållbarhetsteamet have developed a cloud-based tool that we’ve named Leverantörsnavigatorn (Supplier Navigator). The methodology and tool make the supply chain transparent and create the conditions for concrete action. You stay one step ahead and avoid the unwelcome clean-up work that can arise when information is missing.

With smooth data collection, analytical support, and a clear platform, you get a comprehensive overview of your supply chain.

– Andreas Eneving, developer of the Leverantörsnavigatorn methodology and tool.

“With smooth data collection, analytical support, and a clear platform, you get a comprehensive overview of your supply chain – their risk management, climate impact, working conditions, policies linked to their industry, and where they are located in the world. This makes it easier to see what needs to be addressed and which collaborations are strategically most important going forward,” says Andreas Eneving, who helped develop both the methodology and the tool.

Four quick facts about Leverantörsnavigatorn

  1. Creates systematic processes that identify risks faster
  2. Supports compliance with CSRD, CSDDD, and other regulations
  3. Prioritizes initiatives that create the greatest impact
  4. Strengthens relationships with suppliers through clear and data-driven dialogues

“I believe the result is not just better compliance – but that companies working with the tool also gain a more resilient value chain and more resource-efficient processes,” explains Andreas.

More than a system – a partner in the transition

Having order, transparency, and active management of the supply chain is not just a matter of regulatory compliance – it creates direct business value. EU regulations, as well as increased customer demands, shift the focus to, in addition to companies’ own impact, also accounting for how responsibility is taken throughout the entire value chain.

“Many companies have their biggest risks and opportunities in the supply chain. Working with Leverantörsnavigatorn and its methodology is like getting a well-functioning and powerful engine for your due diligence process. And when you need support in analysis and prioritization, we are close by to provide assistance,” concludes Andreas.
