Strengthening Responsible Supply Chain Practices Through Independent Verification

Social Responsibility & Responsible Sourcing

Helping organizations to manage social and environmental risks

Global supply chains are under growing scrutiny. Organizations are expected to ensure responsible sourcing, adherence to social standards, and careful management of natural resources across complex supply networks and regulatory environments. At the same time, reporting obligations and data requirements are increasing, raising the risk of non-compliance and reputational damage.

At DEKRA, we help organizations make sourcing practices transparent and credible. Our services address social responsibility in supply chains and the sustainable management of natural resources to support ESG expectations and verifiable performance.
Your Benefits

How we support you

Responsible sourcing must be implemented consistently across organizations, sites, and supply chain tiers. Data availability, varying supplier maturity levels, and fragmented responsibilities often make it difficult to assess risks, prioritize actions, and provide reliable evidence for ESG reporting and stakeholder inquiries.
DEKRA supports organizations with a coordinated portfolio of services that strengthen responsible sourcing practices. Our approach combines independent audits, assessments, and verifications covering social responsibility in supply chains and the management of natural resources. The resulting insights are aligned with recognized international frameworks and create a clear bridge from expectations to measurable performance, including labor and human rights practices, biodiversity, water efficiency, and corporate responsibility maturity assessments.
