Due diligence
UEBT member companies commit to managing risks for people and biodiversity including due diligence on cultivation and wild collection practices for ingredients from biodiversity. Companies also need to respond to growing due diligence policies around the world.
UEBT due diligence tools
UEBT supports companies with practical due diligence tools to identify and manage natural raw material supply chain risks. Due diligence consists of several components, including assessing risks in supply chains and identifying specific risks at both the country and at the ingredient level. UEBT offers three tools to support this:
UEBT supplier due diligence platform
UEBT responsible sourcing risk database (download a factsheet on this page)
UEBT ABS due diligence database - learn more about this tool here.
Together these tools help companies implement clear strategies to address identified risks.
UEBT supplier due diligence platform
Very few due diligence systems include the very important field-based risks at the production level – related to workers, pickers, producers and their local environment. The UEBT supplier due diligence platform is a tool that maps these supply chain risks, going beyond questionnaires of first tier suppliers to allow suppliers to submit self-assessments of social and biodiversity risks based on the critical requirements from the UEBT standard.
UEBT responsible sourcing risk database
The UEBT responsible sourcing risk database is an online tool tailored to the particular social, environmental and economic risks related to ingredients from biodiversity. It provides specific risk scores on a set of environmental and social issues at the ingredient level and at the country level. The database is regularly updated and allows for combining risk assessments from both the country and ingredient levels.
