Investing in sustainability software is becoming essential as key trends drive the demand for greater supply chain visibility. These trends include regulations targeting forced labor, deforestation, and sustainability.

As supply chains grow more complex, companies need tools that automate processes, enhance data consistency, and digitize information and workflows.

Our latest blog explores why prioritizing supply chain transparency is crucial and how modern supply chain software can help your company stay compliant and competitive.

US and EU regulators are both cracking down on food imports suspected of involving forced labor, which extends to other products, including fresh fruit and frozen fish. Also, by the end of 2024, any company importing soy, beef, coffee, cocoa or palm oil needs to upload a map of all farms to the EU prior to customs clearance. 

This can prove challenging for the food industry because new regulations require companies to perform due diligence on their indirect suppliers. In a single brand’s supply chain, there are often tens of thousands of farms and processors.

Is your organization prepared for forced labor due diligence and/or EUDR? Read here about the special considerations food companies need to take to implement due diligence across their entire supply chain.

U.S. authorities are heightening scrutiny for human rights abuses in supply chains of the world’s most traded food commodity: seafood. Rapid growth has led to an increase in illegal and unregulated fishing, with many fishing vessels taking longer voyages meaning crews are left on board longer, which increases the risks of forced labor, child labor, and human trafficking of fishers sold into slavery — not to mention overfishing and other environmental misconduct.

This article discusses the importance of ethical sourcing in the seafood industry and how visibility into your organization’s supply chain can reduce the risk of non-compliance.

We’ve reached a tipping point: supply chain visibility is no longer a nice to have. It’s a must.

Already, organizations importing goods into Canada and United States need to understand whether there is forced labor in their supply chain. By the end of this year, organizations must have deep insight into their supply chains to comply with the terms of the EU’s Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). Soon, a supply chain map will need to accompany every shipment that enters the EU. By 2026, the new US Customs portal will be active, and by 2027, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)  will go into effect.

Complying with the laws requiring visibility into supply chains isn’t easy. Supply chain maps can’t be a shallow evaluation of tier 1 suppliers only. Regulators expect your organization to have a fully vetted chain of custody down to the N tier of suppliers.

Read our quick blog for steps you should take to get supply chain visibility.

The beloved French furniture and home goods Maisons du Monde has selected Sourcemap’s award-winning supply chain regulatory software for compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

"Maison du Monde has been committed to the preservation of trees for more than 10 years to improve the impact of our wood sector through, among other things, the purchase of certified or traceable wood; this new step and our collaboration with Sourcemap will allow us to go even further in the fight against deforestation," explained Hélène Guiet, Directrice Qualité et Offre Responsable chez Maisons du Monde.

The EU has published additional details regarding the forthcoming EUDR Information System, also known as the Deforestation Due Diligence Registry.

The Registry allows operators, traders and their representatives to make electronic Due Diligence Statements, and submit them to the relevant authorities to show that their products do not cause deforestation, in compliance with the EU Deforestation Regulation.

Registration to use the system will begin in November 2024 and the system will be opened to all users in December 2024. Read the full article here>> https://hubs.ly/Q02JngGY0
