Supply chain poses big risk to a company's ESG report card, but firms still slow to act: white paper

Singapore

AS CORPORATE operations expand globally and become increasingly more complex, a company's supply chain is uniquely poised to have a significant impact on its ESG (environmental, social and governance) performance - and yet, it is still not being given the level of consideration it warrants, a white paper has concluded.

ISN, a leader in contractor and supplier information management headquartered in the United States with offices around the world, noted in its recent ESG white paper that supply chains can have a substantial impact on a company's ESG targets, and that it is important for companies to include third-party contractors and suppliers in their ESG initiatives.
