amfori SustainaPass in a Nutshell
Providing Support for Different Due Diligence Needs
As new due diligence regulations are reshaping business operations, all companies with global value chains will have to adapt to these standards to meet consumer and stakeholder expectations. amfori SustainaPass is thus designed for companies, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs), that seek to enhance their sustainability practices and need guidance to conduct their ESG due diligence and reporting exercise, regardless of their ESG maturity. amfori SustainaPass also simplifies the reporting exercise for large companies by helping them gather the necessary reporting data from their SME suppliers using this solution.
Helping Your Company Navigate the ESG Regulatory Landscape
As regulators are setting out stricter rules for responsible business conduct, it can be complex for companies to keep track of the new due diligence requirements and standards that they need to comply with. Inspired by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the GRI Standards, amfori SustainaPass aims to help your company face these growing challenges so you can navigate the evolving ESG regulatory landscape more smoothly.
Providing a Step-by-Step Approach to ESG Due Diligence and Reporting
amfori SustainaPass guides you through three user-friendly and interconnected modules that contribute to key steps of your ESG due diligence journey. This facilitates a proactive risk-based approach that enables you to ensure sustainable practices in your value chain and be better prepared for financial and reputational risks.
- Based on the GRI and SASB concepts of impact and financial materiality, the Materiality Module enables you to identify your company's material topics to better prioritise your due diligence efforts. You can choose from a range of topics and carry out your double materiality assessment based on your company’s data and insights from the amfori ESG Risk Compass.
- The next step is Risk & Impact Management. In this module, you first assess their potential and actual ESG risks and impacts based on amfori BSCI and amfori BEPI data from your supply chain, as well as external ESG research and amfori aggregated data. Then, those risks and impacts are categorised to help you determine and prioritise your actions for prevention, mitigation and remediation.
- Finally, the Reporting Module enables your company to communicate more easily how you address risks and impacts in your value chain by providing a template inspired by CSRD that is automatically populated with information captured in the other two modules.
In 2025, amfori SustainaPass will also include a fourth module to support you with stakeholder engagement.
Facilitating Your Sustainability Reporting Exercise
Through a structured template inspired by CSRD, amfori SustainaPass helps your company gather information for your reporting exercise, from corporate governance to value chain management. Thanks to the interconnection between the modules of amfori SustainaPass, the results of the materiality assessment and the risk and impact management exercise automatically generate data in the Reporting Module. You can also add information collected through other sources to complete your report.
In 2025, the data captured in amfori SustainaPass will be translated into multi-year trends and visualisations in amfori Insights to help you identify correlations and analyse your company's progress over the years. This enables you to communicate the results of your sustainability efforts to your internal and external stakeholders to foster dialogue, enhance transparency and improve your brand reputation.
