CSR risk check: overview of potential CSR risks along the supply chain

The online tool supports companies that import from abroad or have production facilities abroad in analyzing human rights and environmental risks along the upstream and downstream supply chain.

The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Risk Check is an online tool that supports companies that import from abroad or have production facilities abroad in analyzing human rights and environmental risks along the supply chain. By answering questions, companies find out which international CSR risks are associated with their business activities and what opportunities exist to manage these risks. The CSR Risk Check covers 22 topics that are in line with the CSR topics of the OECD Guidelines, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the International Labor Organization (ILO). As CSR risks in the supply chain can occur not only in relation to the end product, the CSR Risk Check can also be completed for raw materials, components or preliminary products that are manufactured in other countries or for services that companies use in a country.

The CSR risk check supports the committed actors in the implementation of human rights due diligence along the entire supply chain and thus in the implementation of measure 2.1: Establishment of due diligence.

MVO Nederland is a knowledge and information center based in Utrecht that supports companies to contribute to an economy within the limits of nature and society.

The German-language version is implemented in cooperation with UPJ and the Agency for Business & Development and financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
