ESG, CSDDD and Supplier Audit Observatory: What European Lead Companies Ask Italian Contract Manufacturers
Updated to
In short: between the sustainability due diligence directive, the reporting standards and labour controls, the large lead companies are asking suppliers for more and more documents: here you will find every official development explained, with what you must be able to demonstrate. We check official sources every 3 hours, from 7 to 21 hours, and every article links to the act or press release it is based on. It is written for contract manufacturers, sub-suppliers, purchasing departments and quality managers.
How we choose the news
A news item becomes an article only if it comes from an official source and changes something for whoever has to decide on a customer, a supplier or a partner. Service notices, events and appointments are left out.
- Official sources only: every fact comes from the act or press release of the authority, never from press rumours.
- One article per fact: if the same news item comes from several sources, we update the existing article.
- No name given as guilty: an investigation remains an investigation, and we write it that way.
Archive by topic
The first article will appear here as soon as an official source publishes a relevant news item.
What to check on a counterparty
- Essential — adverse records + beneficial owner (€14.90): corporate chain and proceedings of your sub-suppliers.
- Verification Report (from €19): the dossier on your company: what a client who qualifies you sees.
