Why is it Important for Suppliers to Evidence their ESG Credentials?

The Compliance Imperative

Proving that you are compliant helps suppliers and contractors enhance their reputation and avoid legal pitfalls or repercussions. A compliant supplier is committed to removing single points of failure and carrying out all work according to the book; this helps to build strong relationships with clients and foster a culture of safety.

ESG compliance is not just about reputation – it’s increasingly becoming a legal requirement. Regulations are evolving rapidly, and suppliers must stay ahead of the curve.

Failure to comply can result in severe penalties, including fines and legal action. Moreover, non-compliance can lead to immediate loss of business opportunities as clients seek to mitigate their own ESG risks.

ESG compliance is also becoming increasingly important for the modern business. As a supplier or contractor, you need a way to demonstrate your commitment to ESG values, as well as other ethical practices to win more work.

That’s why Prosure360’s pre-qualified assessments give you the perfect opportunity to prove that you are ESG compliant.

The ‘S’ in ESG can refer to a number of social factors including fair employment practices, diversity and inclusion, and human rights. That’s why it’s also vital that suppliers and contractors evidence modern slavery practices in accordance with The Modern Slavery Act.
