SUPPLY CHAIN
AUDIT OUTCOMES.

Ensuring your suppliers are not enabling modern slavery or harming the planet is a requirement for every organisation, large or small.

Every ESG rating relies on your sustainability audit evidence, and there are multiple UK and EU regulatory requirements. It’s critical, and it’s at the root of reducing your carbon footprint too. Our services range from rapid low-cost essential screening and support, through to full EcoVadis certification of your supply chain.

A supplier ESG and sustainability audit ensures compliance with the Procurement Act, NHS Evergreen, B Corp, EcoVadis and other ESG frameworks. A supply chain audit reduces risks and liabilities, making your organisation more resilient. The benefits are many: it even drives your carbon reduction plan!

The ESG Pro supply chain audit process embeds our Social Value Sustainability Initiative (SVSI), so your compliance with the UK Procurement Act (2023) is absolute, positioning your business to be a preferred supplier to all tiers of government procurement.

However, it’s not just auditing; our process drives supplier engagement so your business can secure better terms, lower your purchasing overheads, and forge genuine partnerships.

Let’s shape a better way of doing business. If you’re ready to lead with purpose, we’re ready to help.

Supply Chain Auditing – FAQs

Thinking about becoming a supply chain auditing? Whether you’re starting from scratch or aiming to improve your approach, we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions businesses ask about supply chain auditing — including how ESG Pro supports you every step of the way.

An ESG supply chain audit is a systematic assessment of suppliers to ensure compliance with environmental, social, and governance standards. It verifies that suppliers meet legal requirements, demonstrate ethical practices, and align with sustainability objectives such as emissions reduction, fair labour, and responsible sourcing.

ESG auditing is essential because it helps companies identify risks such as modern slavery, corruption, and environmental violations within their supply chains. It strengthens transparency, supports due diligence reporting, and demonstrates accountability to investors, customers, and regulators.

A supply chain ESG audit typically involves collecting data from suppliers, reviewing documentation such as environmental policies and labour standards, and assessing evidence of compliance. Auditors evaluate suppliers against recognised frameworks such as GRI, ISO 14001, and the UN Global Compact.

Common ESG risks include carbon emissions, waste management failures, unsafe working conditions, human rights abuses, and lack of governance oversight. Identifying and mitigating these risks through auditing helps organisations maintain ethical sourcing and protect their reputation.

Most organisations perform ESG audits annually or biannually, depending on supplier risk levels, industry regulations, and turnover. High-risk or global supply chains may require more frequent monitoring or continuous digital due diligence.

ESG-compliant auditing improves transparency, builds trust with stakeholders, reduces operational risk, and enhances competitiveness in procurement processes. It also supports compliance with modern slavery laws, Scope 3 emissions reporting, and sustainable procurement standards.

Companies can prepare suppliers by providing clear audit criteria, offering training on sustainability practices, and using online assessment tools. Encouraging suppliers to adopt ISO or EcoVadis-aligned frameworks improves readiness and long-term performance.

Auditors analyse evidence such as energy consumption data, employee welfare policies, diversity metrics, anti-bribery statements, and supplier certifications. Verified documentation supports compliance with ESG reporting standards and ensures data integrity across the supply chain.

An ESG Pro supply chain audit strengthens a company’s EcoVadis certification performance by aligning supplier practices with EcoVadis’s four core themes: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The audit process assesses supplier documentation, policies, and certifications such as ISO 14001 and SA8000, ensuring that each aligns with recognised sustainability standards.

By combining automated evidence collection with manual evaluation, ESG Pro identifies compliance gaps, supports corrective actions, and prepares suppliers to meet EcoVadis reporting requirements. This approach enhances transparency, verifies due diligence, and provides credible documentation that demonstrates continuous improvement. As a result, companies audited by ESG Pro are better equipped to achieve higher EcoVadis scores and strengthen their position in sustainable procurement networks.

An ESG Pro supply chain audit supports a company’s B Corp certification journey by embedding measurable sustainability standards and ethical practices across its supplier network. The audit examines environmental performance, labour conditions, governance transparency, and community impact, helping businesses gather the evidence needed for the B Impact Assessment.

ESG Pro reviews supplier policies, verifies certifications, and identifies areas where improvements can elevate scores in key sections such as Environment, Workers, and Community. By encouraging suppliers to adopt sustainable and socially responsible practices, the audit builds resilience, strengthens traceability, and ensures credible documentation for submission.

This comprehensive approach enables companies to demonstrate a proven commitment to responsible sourcing and continuous improvement, enhancing their ability to meet the rigorous standards required for B Corp certification.
