Sustainability surveys are being actively conducted by infrastructure-related companies, retailers, and other companies, primarily in the manufacturing industry, with a focus on ensuring sustainability and managing risks in the processes from procurement to sales of their products and services. Financial institutions also conduct surveys to accurately assess the value and risks of companies in which they invest and lend, and to support and ensure sustainable growth.

Such surveys are being conducted in various places and are increasing year by year in response to growing social interest in corporate sustainability. However, survey implementers face a variety of challenges, including promoting understanding to gain cooperation from responding companies and organizations, designing surveys that take into account differences in language and legal systems for overseas markets, securing the knowledge and human resources required for implementation, ensuring accuracy and reliability, and systematizing the surveys. In particular, supply chain surveys are extremely difficult to undertake, as they require every supplier, including subcontractors and sub-subcontractors, to respond correctly to questionnaires, collect information using unified standards, and then conduct evaluations.
