Overview of Sustainability Risk Assessment

The Sustainability Risk Assessment (SRA) is an additional module within Simvia that helps you assess and monitor sustainability risks across your supply chain.

Developed in collaboration with SIFAV (The Sustainability Initiative for Fruit and Vegetables), the SRA enables you to evaluate 21 environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risk dimensions at country and regional level.

The insights generated support you in:

  • Identifying high-risk areas
  • Prioritising actions
  • Strengthening due diligence
  • Reporting on sustainability performance
