Implementing Supply Chain Due Diligence Under CSDDD

## The Scale of the Challenge

"We work with over 2,000 suppliers across 40 countries. Building a due diligence system at this scale requires prioritisation. We use a risk-based approach, focusing our deepest engagement on high-risk suppliers and regions."

Beyond Compliance

"We've tried to approach CSDDD not as a compliance burden but as an opportunity to strengthen supplier relationships. The companies that will succeed are those who work collaboratively with their supply chains, not those who simply push requirements down."

Technology and Data

"We've invested significantly in supply chain mapping and monitoring technology. But technology alone isn't enough – you need people on the ground, strong relationships, and genuine commitment to improvement."

Advice for Others

"Start with your existing supplier data and build from there. Perfect shouldn't be the enemy of good. Document your methodology, acknowledge gaps, and show progress over time."
