A robust risk assessment process is essential for ensuring that your supply chain is compliant with both regulatory and voluntary standards. The Nature’s Barcode framework offers tools and methodologies to identify, assess, and mitigate risks across your global supply chain. By evaluating the likelihood of non-compliance, such as sourcing from high-risk areas or unverified suppliers, risk assessments help businesses focus their efforts where they are most needed.

What is Risk Assessment?

Analyzing compliance risks in your supply chain

Risk assessment builds on the information collection process by analyzing the data gathered from your supply chain and assessing it against the requirements of relevant regulations or voluntary standards. The Nature’s Barcode framework helps you evaluate the information collected—such as geolocation data, supplier documentation, and product certifications—to identify areas of potential non-compliance. This allows you to measure risks related to deforestation, legality issues, or sustainability concerns and take action where necessary.

By leveraging this structured approach, you can implement effective risk mitigation strategies, ensuring that your business meets compliance requirements and reduces exposure to risks throughout the supply chain.

Why Risk Assessment matters

Proactively address compliance and sustainability risks

A well-executed risk assessment helps you prioritize action and allocate resources effectively, avoiding costly mistakes and reputational damage. Without it, businesses may unknowingly source from high-risk areas or non-compliant suppliers, leading to regulatory penalties or disrupted supply chains. With the Nature’s Barcode framework, you can:

  • Identify high-risk areas in your supply chain before they cause issues.
  • Mitigate risk by implementing proactive measures to address potential non-compliance.
  • Enhance transparency by providing clear insights into your supply chain’s risk profile.
  • Ensure compliance with the latest regulations and standards, reducing exposure to penalties.
