amfori SustainaPass

Yes, amfori SustainaPass is included in the amfori membership, without additional cost.

You can access amfori SustainaPass through the amfori Sustainability Platform or the amfori website, using your existing amfori credentials. Please note that only users with the role of Member Sustainability Reporting Admin can access amfori SustainaPass (see “How do I get started with amfori SustainaPass?” for more information).

In order to better support your company’s ESG due diligence journey, we invite you to follow the steps below before you start using amfori SustainaPass to ensure optimal use of the product.

1. Appoint an amfori SustainaPass user within your company

In order to access amfori SustainaPass to conduct your due diligence exercise, you and/or your colleague needs to be assigned the role of Member Sustainability Reporting Admin on the amfori Sustainability Platform.

How to assign these roles to yourself or a colleague:

• If you don’t have the platform role of Member Admin, please ask a colleague who does to follow the next steps, as only Member Admins can assign roles.
• Go to the amfori Sustainability Platform.
• In the left-hand toolbar, click on “Admin”, then on “My Company”.
• Go to “Users” to update the existing user’s roles and assign them the role of Member Sustainability Reporting Admin.
• Or go to the “Invitations” tab to invite a new user and assign them the role of Member Sustainability Reporting Admin.

2. Learn how to use amfori SustainaPass

Before you start using amfori SustainaPass, we invite you to consult the e-learning on the amfori Academy. This will help you get familiar with the product and learn how to navigate key concepts to support your ESG due diligence journey.

3. Gather your company’s internal data

While amfori SustainaPass collects your supply chain data from the amfori Sustainability Platform, you also need to provide additional information on your company to carry out your ESG due diligence and reporting exercise. Therefore, we encourage you to gather relevant information and resources before you start using amfori SustainaPass, such as:

• Organisational & workforce structure (e.g., diversity, sustainability priorities of each department)
• Product portfolio (product types and sectors)
• Relevant sustainability information (e.g., policy commitments, grievance mechanism)
• Stakeholder engagement (i.e., list of stakeholders, type of engagement and their sustainability priorities)
• Relevant supply chain information not captured via amfori (e.g., first- and third-party audit results, production sites’ certificates)
• Corporate governance (e.g., anti-corruption policy, how your company addresses sustainability matters)

4. Make sure your supply chain data is updated

Another important step is to make sure that you keep your supply chain data up to date in the amfori Sustainability Platform before you synchronise it within amfori SustainaPass. This is crucial to ensure that you are using accurate data when conducting your ESG due diligence and reporting exercise in amfori SustainaPass.

We hope these recommendations will facilitate your first steps with amfori SustainaPass.

Yes. You can assign the role of Member Sustainability Reporting Admin to several people within your company on the amfori Sustainability Platform.

If you have not mapped your entire supply chain, only the part that is mapped will be imported into amfori SustainaPass. Therefore, we recommend that you map all relevant suppliers before using amfori SustainaPass so that all your data can then easily be imported to facilitate your usage of the solution.

amfori SustainaPass supports your ESG due diligence journey, providing valuable input for CSRD reporting. However, to ensure compliance with the directive, you will need to review and supplement the information. Final assessment of your CSRD report should be conducted by an accountant and/or auditor appointed by your company, in line with legal requirements.

amfori SustainaPass guides you through three user-friendly and interconnected modules that contribute to key steps of your ESG due diligence journey:

• Materiality assessment: The first module of amfori SustainaPass helps you identify your material ESG topics, according to CSRD’s concepts of financial and impact materiality. You are invited to fill in information about your company, supply chain, and stakeholders to get a clear overview of your priorities. This data is then captured in a materiality matrix to help define whether a topic is material to your company.
• Risk and impact management: The second module supports different aspects of the risk and impact management process. First, amfori SustainaPass helps determine in a structured manner whether the material topics that have been identified in the first module represent risks to your business or impacts that your company (potentially) has on the planet and people. The solution then helps assess and prioritise risks more efficiently by centralising your company’s supply chain data captured through other amfori solutions, i.e., amfori BSCI audits, amfori BEPI Risk Assessments and country risk scores from amfori ESG Risk Compass. It also enables you to define the severity and likelihood of your company’s impacts on people and the environment. After assessing risks and impacts, you can define actions for mitigation or remediation and set a timeline to keep track of your efforts.
• Reporting: All the information captured in the Materiality and Risk & Impact Management Modules is automatically collected in a structured template inspired by CSRD to simplify the reporting exercise. The module includes additional guiding questions on your company’s governance to complete the narrative of the sustainability report. Moreover, the data captured in amfori SustainaPass is 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 stakeholders.

amfori SustainaPass includes a module that helps identify your company’s material topics (risks and impacts). It provides a list of ESG topics that you can assess based on internal and stakeholder priorities as well as your supply chain risks. To support your assessment, the solution integrates ESG risk indicators from amfori ESG Risk Compass that rank topics from low to very high risk per country, using aggregated data from reliable external sources (such as the World Bank) and amfori’s own insights from amfori BSCI and amfori BEPI.

Yes. amfori SustainaPass includes a self-assessment questionnaire to help you evaluate your company’s readiness for stakeholder engagement. The results provide insight into where you stand and how to integrate engagement more meaningfully into your due diligence process. The solution also enables you to map your stakeholders and document interactions, making it easier to track activities and facilitate reporting.

Yes, if you only need support with the social side of your sustainability report, you can use amfori SustainaPass solely to assess social topics.

This is currently under development. We plan to integrate amfori’s multi-tier project, enabling a better overview of your supply chain mapping (upstream and downstream), including moving to tiers 2, 3, 4, etc.

Not yet, but we have planned to add amfori Speak for Change data, as we already have with Zero Tolerance alerts.

You are the only person who has access to the information about your company and supply chain, specifically the individual(s) within your organisation responsible for managing the due diligence and reporting exercise. Only you, or the users within your company, can see the data. Our IT provider has strict data privacy policies in place and ensures data is stored in a segregated data lake.

Once you have mapped a supplier on the amfori Sustainability Platform, the data will be synchronised with amfori SustainaPass. If the site is correctly mapped, all the relevant information will be transferred to amfori SustainaPass. You can synchronise the data as many times as you want, bearing in mind that some sections will have to be reviewed after the data is updated and it takes 24 hours after the update on the amfori Sustainability Platform to get the data in amfori SustainaPass.

Through the synchronisation, the Risk & Impact Management Module captures your supply chain data from amfori BSCI audits, Zero Tolerance alerts, and amfori BEPI Risk Assessments, as well as data from amfori ESG Risk Compass to inform your risk assessment.

amfori SustainaPass has multiple placeholders in each module for users to add any relevant information for their sustainability reporting. Although you currently need to do it manually, we are looking into ways to connect data through automatic uploads.

Therefore, if you have already conducted a double materiality assessment and/or risk assessment or if some of your suppliers are evaluated through another system, you can use the placeholders to insert the information.

Yes, until the moment you create your final report. Should you decide to update your materiality assessment in the Materiality Module, keep in mind that the outcomes in the following modules will also change.

The Continuous Improvement feature on the amfori Sustainability Platform includes actions (to be) conducted by your suppliers. Actions in the Risk & Impact Management Module refer to activities (to be) conducted by your company. It is important to note that when a Continuous Improvement activity is logged on the amfori Sustainability Platform, a message is displayed at the site level in amfori SustainaPass to enable complementarity to remediate an issue. You should look at actions from a holistic approach with the activities led by your suppliers to avoid duplication and increase effectiveness.

We suggest starting with a set of products that you would like to start your reporting with or you have more data on. The products are also related to the other parameters that you would like to report. For example, if a specific country seems riskier, you may want to start with the products coming from there and then extend your reporting.

You can choose which level of granularity you wish to report at the product level. Depending on your reporting needs, you may want to put the final product (e.g., leather shoes) or separate parts.

The formats supported by amfori SustainaPass are PDF and XLSX.
