Mitigate and remediate supply chain risks
Address and prevent issues to improve the ESG performance of your supply chain
After verifying the presence of risks in your supply chain, the next step is to take decisive action to address them. When a problem arises, swift remediation is essential to prevent it from becoming more serious and limit harm.
At the same time, mitigation plays a vital role. By implementing proactive measures, you can reduce the likelihood and severity of future risks, helping safeguard your operations and build more resilient supply chains.
Why are mitigation and remediation essential?
Remediating and preventing ESG risks is not just a compliance issue—it’s a business imperative. The average cost of supply chain disruption is $1.5 million per day, a risk few companies can afford to ignore.
An effective risk mitigation and remediation strategy helps you:
Avoid disruptions
Minimise the likelihood and impact of future risks to ensure business continuity and build more resilient supply chains.
Protect long-term business viability
Safeguard your company from financial and reputational damage by addressing risks before they escalate.
Comply with sustainability standards
Align with due diligence regulations and global frameworks, such as the EU CSDDD and the OECD Guidelines.

Turn insights into action with the amfori Sustainability platform
Through the Continuous Improvement feature on the amfori Sustainability Platform, you can set performance targets, track progress over time, and follow up on audit findings with your suppliers for amfori BSCI, amfori BEPI, and amfori QMI.

Provide access to remedy with amfori Speak for Change
With amfori Speak for Change, our supply chain grievance mechanism, we help you provide access to remedy to affected workers and stakeholders in your supply chain, in line with international human rights due diligence standards.

Build capacity through the amfori Academy
Effective risk mitigation also requires knowledge and skills. The amfori Academy offers training in 16 different languages on a wide range of topics related to supply chain sustainability and resilience. The platform is designed to help both members and suppliers improve their knowledge to strengthen ESG performance—from understanding how to address low audit scores to advancing overall sustainability practices across the supply chain.
