CHALLENGES
Overcoming supply chain data challenges (with Worldfavor)
Prior to using Worldfavor, Alimak Group gathered data on their suppliers, but faced challenges with mapping their supply chain due to having a large number of suppliers of varying sizes and maturity levels.
The data Alimak Group gathered was mostly connected to regulation, end-user safety and quality. When it came to collecting data on ESG matters Alimak Group’s efforts were focused more on their own internal operations. They included ESG matters in their code of conduct with suppliers, but there was no system in place to follow up on the data provided. They were in need of a solution which would allow them to easily reach out to and collect information from many different organizations with different levels of maturity.
SOLUTION
Improving supply chain transparency and risk management
Alimak Group is currently using Worldfavor Sustainable Sourcing.
Alimak Group’s initial goal with Worldfavor’s solution was to track that their code of conduct was being followed, including the ESG aspects in the supply chain. They also aimed to identify and reduce supply chain risks, which have become a greater focus with the introduction of the ESRS and upcoming CSDDD directives from the European Union, significantly increasing their efforts in said direction.
RESULTS
Driving supplier ESG compliance effectively: Alimak Group's success working with Worldfavor
Working with Worldfavor has helped Alimak Group to monitor supplier adherence to their code of conduct, minimize their ESG-related supplier risks, and ensure compliance with regulations such as CSRD/ESRS and the upcoming CSDDD. Their supply chain managers also use Worldfavor to collect data from suppliers, get an overview and identify which suppliers need support in improving their sustainability efforts.
Working with Worldfavor, Alimak Group has developed a more streamlined way to improve ESG performance in their diverse supply chain.
