Supply chain risk assessments
Respond to emerging supply chain risks with the gold standard for supply chain assessments
ERSA
The EiQ Responsible Sourcing Assessment Standards (ERSA) are designed for both compliance and impact.
The ERSA suite includes audit and self-assessment frameworks for responsible sourcing, environment, carbon maturity and for critical sectors such as manufacturing and agriculture. This ensures monitoring is purpose-built, meaningful and effective.
The core ERSA standard has been adopted by 100+ retailers, brands, and companies globally and implemented at 10,000+ workplaces. It supports our clients to be more rigorous and proactive as they navigate a unique set of supply chain challenges and demands.
moving beyond traditional audits to capture quantitative metrics on supplier profiles, demographics and compliance performance. Businesses gain a deeper understanding of risks across sourcing geographies and industries through ERSA’s comprehensive, data-driven insights.
integrating anonymous worker surveys to capture real-time sentiment at scale and supporting holistic risk assessments. ERSA also incorporates EiQ’s proprietary Geography Risk Ratings and benchmarking. This strengthens your ability to evaluate supplier vulnerability and performance.
enabling data aggregation, report downloads, Corrective Action Plan (CAP) management and dynamic visualisation for internal and external reporting.
ERSA standards
align with local and national laws, International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, and benchmark against industry protocols to uphold global best practices.
Data points
EiQ overview
EiQ integrates AI-powered analytics, industry-leading verified datasets, and technical expertise to provide unparalleled visibility into sourcing risks, compliance requirements and supply chain sustainability challenges.
Worker voice data for real-time monitoring
Worker survey and grievance mechanism data helps cover blind spots in real time, providing increased visibility into risks than audits, Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs) and other tools can deliver alone. Worker voice data integration allows for more granular, holistic insights into supplier performance. Through EiQ, you can track and report grievance data on the platform to support better and more actionable risk assessment and management. This data- driven approach enables real-time monitoring, performance tracking and enhances sustainability reporting.
Carbon data collection to assess environmental performance
EiQ enhances visibility into supply chain carbon emissions data and environmental performance. Scope 3 emissions frequently constitute the largest portion of a company’s carbon footprint. EiQ's environmental data module delivers visibility into key environmental metrics such as total Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions attributed to a supplier, refrigerants data and more to drive improved emissions management and reduce adverse environmental impacts from supply chain operations.
