A tool made by buyers for buyers
To eliminate supplier risks, start by mapping them! Build your own customized risk map by purchasing category and country, covering all CSR issues, with the AFNOR risk mapping platform.
Risk analysis covers the entire life cycle of goods (products or services), from raw material extraction to end-of-life, including the risk to the product user or service provider.
Identify:
The AFNOR Group’s digital platform guides you step-by-step to identify gross risks, i.e. the potential risks inherent in a purchasing family on 13 CSR issues (5 environmental, 5 social and 3 business ethics).
Evaluate
For each issue, a criticality level is provided, comparing the probability and severity of the risk. The solution also makes it possible to weight risk according to geographical area of origin. Over 170 countries are covered.
Taking action:
For each purchasing family, the AFNOR platform offers recommendations based on a benchmark of best practices in the sector, which will enable buyers to mitigate the level of gross risk, and thus manage their net risk.
Risk is expensive, opportunity is profitable
The AFNOR Group’s digital platform enables buyers, more than ever before, to play their role as orchestral conductors, involving their stakeholders at the very earliest stages of the purchasing process.
By sharing results and recommendations with internal specifiers, the buyer has a tool for dialogue:
with business experts
to prepare and co-construct the specifications; to characterize the need and the strategy;
with its suppliers
to assess their risk maturity and challenge them on their ability to control or circumvent risks. Let’s not forget: risk breeds opportunity, and therefore innovation.
Mapping supplier risks: how, who, why?
How can we do this?
By cross-referencing three international voluntary standards familiar to management professionals: ISO 20400 (responsible purchasing), ISO 31000 (risk management) and ISO 26000 (social responsibility).- Who? Buyers and managers involved in purchasing decisions within large groups, ETIs, SMEs and in all sectors: agri-food, banking & insurance, industry, services and textiles.
- Why? To apply the law on duty of vigilance (over 5,000 employees in France); To apply the Sapin II law (anti-corruption); To learn the lessons of the covid-19 crisis, which shook the customer-supplier relationship; To prepare for future European regulations on duty of vigilance.
