Sustainable Supply Chain is an integral process for working towards holistic sustainability and inclusion of external stakeholders for achieving decarbonization commitments. It is a crucial perspective for us to understand the risks and opportunities we have in the present and long term. Sustainability along the supply chain is a process that is not just limited to Assessment but extends beyond capturing geographical and commodity-specific risks.

The risk severity mapping helps in effective decision-making for high-risk suppliers and in ensuring traceability of raw materials and alignment towards sustainable sourcing principles. Also, the inclusion of Circularity and low product carbon footprint as per the Sustainable Sourcing Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct acts as a key in enabling the selection of a preferential supplier.
