Supply Chain Influence Checklist

Step 1: Increase your influence on the organisation in your supply chain where the risk occurs.

Step 2: Present the risk, and possible ways to deal with it, to the organisation in your supply chain.

HOW DO YOU INCREASE YOUR INFLUENCE?

You can increase your influence by:

• Entering into talks with organisations in your chain;

• Providing training to the organisation;

• Joining an exisiting supply chain initiative;

• Cooperating with other parties in the chain (such as the local community, governments and other customers of the organisation) and exerting direct pressure on the organisation;

• Realizing change at regional and sectoral level in cooperation with other parties.

WHICH SOLUTIONS DO YOU PRESENT?

The CSR Risk Check provides useful tips for targeted action per risk. The type of risk determines which actions are relevant. Assuming you managed to gain influence over the organisation where the risk occurs, you can map out potential actions and start working on this with the organisation.

Example: In case of corruption, targeted action could be keeping a list of dubious payments or drawing up an anti-corruption policy.
