From supplier data to a compliance roadmap

Follow the work from requirement review to a prioritized roadmap.

01 The challenge

Compliance data spread across four tiers

BIFMA requirements reach deep into the supply chain. The manufacturer needed to see where its suppliers stood from Tier 1 to Tier 4, and what evidence each one could provide.

02 The approach

Assess, find gaps, then plan

We reviewed the BIFMA requirements, then assessed suppliers across Tier 1 to Tier 4. We checked the environmental, social, and product data, identified compliance and data gaps, and built a prioritized roadmap.
