Supply Chains & Responsible Procurement

Supply chains are where environmental and social risk becomes operational reality. From climate exposure and resource volatility to labour practices and regulatory scrutiny, value chains are increasingly central to corporate resilience.

At TCC, we support organisations to strengthen oversight, reduce exposure, and embed responsibility across their supply networks — aligning procurement strategy with risk management and regulatory expectations.

Why it matters?

Supply chains are no longer a peripheral operational concern — they are central to enterprise risk, regulatory compliance, and stakeholder trust.

Organisations that embed structured oversight, due diligence, and resilience planning into procurement systems build durable competitive advantage. Those that do not accumulate hidden exposure.

At TCC, we approach supply chains with discipline — aligning operational realities with governance expectations and long-term transition strategy.

Supply Chain Risk Mapping

Effective management begins with visibility.

We support organisations to:

  • Map supply chain structures and critical dependencies

  • Identify environmental and social risk hotspots

  • Assess exposure to climate, labour, and geopolitical risk

  • Prioritise suppliers based on risk severity and likelihood

Structured risk mapping enables informed decision-making — not reactive crisis management.

Human Rights & Environmental Due Diligence

Mandatory due diligence frameworks are reshaping procurement governance.

We help companies to:

  • Integrate human rights and environmental due diligence into procurement processes

  • Develop supplier codes of conduct and contractual requirements

  • Conduct supplier risk assessments and audits

  • Design corrective action and monitoring systems

  • Align with evolving regulatory requirements, including European due diligence directives

Due diligence should be embedded into procurement systems — not treated as an external compliance layer.

Sustainable Procurement Strategy

Procurement teams play a critical role in transition planning.

We support:

  • Development of sustainable procurement policies

  • Integration of ESG criteria into supplier selection and evaluation

  • Supplier engagement and capacity-building programmes

  • Cross-functional alignment between procurement, sustainability, and finance

Responsible sourcing strengthens resilience and protects reputation.

Climate & Resource Resilience in Value Chains

Climate impacts increasingly disrupt supply continuity.

We assist organisations to:

  • Assess supplier exposure to physical and transition climate risk

  • Integrate climate resilience criteria into sourcing decisions

  • Support supplier decarbonisation initiatives

  • Strengthen monitoring of emissions and resource performance across value chains

Proactive resilience planning reduces operational disruption.

Data, Governance & Reporting

Supply chain performance is under growing investor and regulatory scrutiny.

We help organisations to:

  • Strengthen supply chain data systems

  • Align value chain disclosures with ESG reporting frameworks

  • Integrate supplier oversight into board-level governance

  • Prepare for external assurance and audit processes

Transparency strengthens credibility.
