Connect to the Ecosystem through Due Diligence on your Core journey
Due diligence is the bridge between isolated operations and connected, collaborative sustainability efforts.
The Due Diligence feature
Following the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Business Conduct, Klappir’s sustainability platform supports a systematic scoping of your risks, and assessment of your actual or potential impact – examining Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors – both at the organization level and across the value chain.
On the Core Plan you get access to limited features of the Due diligence; Received surveys.
You will receive surveys from other companies in the Klappir Ecosystem actively opening direct communication lines from the Ecosystem to you – initiating engagement and positioning you as a Core collaborator in the Ecosystem. With the Due Diligence feature you will:
Support your customers with high-quality data: On the Core Plan, you can receive surveys from other companies in the Klappir Ecosystem, enabling you to support your customers with their ESG due diligence requirements. By sharing accurate insights into your sustainability ambitions and performance, you help them assess ESG risks and opportunities while positioning yourself as a transparent and trustworthy partner.
Be visible and connected to the Ecosystem via your Impact Profile: On one hand, you can leverage your sustainability data and demonstrate your ambitions and progress to stakeholders, investors, and regulators. On the other, by identifying your Geographical Risk and Sustainability Completeness Disclosure, you gain visibility into your organization's risks and opportunities – alongside those reflected in the Impact Profiles of other organizations within the Klappir Ecosystem.
Due Diligence in Klappir's platform
1. Review your Impact Profile
- Add accurate information about your organization in Organization>Impact Profile. In Summary, review that your country, sector and publicly available information are represented correctly. In the About section, you can add a current sustainability summary and share your sustainability ambitions.
- In Disclosures, scope your enterprise risk by answering the Disclosures completeness questionnaire – gain an understanding of your gaps across ESG and your focus areas vs. neglected areas.
2. Scope your suppliers
- Go to the Value Chain section in the Klappir platform and ensure that all suppliers are added for a full overview of your supply chain.
- Review each supplier’s:
- Geographical risk in Country Profile: Each company is evaluated based on the SDG Index of its geographical location – a ranking from the Sustainable Development Report that measures a country's overall progress toward achieving all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Lower scores on the SDG Index indicate more significant developmental challenges and potential risks, resulting in a higher geographical risk.
