EcoVadis SAS and Resilire Co., Ltd. have signed a basic agreement to support Japanese companies in managing supply chain risks and responding to sustainability requirements. Through this partnership, EcoVadis’ sustainability intelligence and Resilire’s supply chain risk management cloud “Resilire” will be combined to create an integrated support system that covers everything from supply chain visibility and risk assessment to supplier improvement activities.
In addition to geopolitical risks, natural disasters, and cyberattacks, risks in the sustainability domain, such as environmental, labor, and human rights issues, are now impacting corporate value across the entire supply chain. Legislation on human rights and environmental due diligence is progressing in Europe and other countries, and the demand for information disclosure, including that within the supply chain, is increasing.

On the other hand, many Japanese companies face challenges in: understanding their business relationships, including suppliers from Tier 2 onwards; ensuring objectivity and comprehensiveness in supplier risk assessments; and integrating risk information that is fragmented across different departments, such as procurement, BCP, and sustainability.
