Supply Chain Influence Checklist
YOU PROBABLY HAVE MORE INFLUENCE THAN YOU THINK
HOW DO YOU INFLUENCE YOUR SUPPLIER?
During a meeting with your business partner discuss the risk and see if you can reach a solution together. The CSR Risk Check provides useful tips for targeted actions. Present these tips to your supplier.
If you feel you have to exert more pressure to address the risk, you may want to:
Include specific conditions with regards to CSR in your contract with the organisation. Make sure you also include agreements on consequences in case your supplier does not meet the requirements.
Assess whether the organisation is receptive to promises about future assignments or support in conducting training sessions.
In case your company represents a large part of the organisation’s turn-over, use this as a lever to demand change.
Assess whether the organisation’s reputation benefits from cooperation with you, and would be damaged if you would end the relationship.
