Understanding the Value Chain and its role in sustainability

We have integrated Sustainable Development Goal Index (SDGi) data into the Value Chain function of the Sustainability Platform, offering a data-driven approach to evaluating sustainability risks within your supply chain. This update enables business decision-makers to gain deeper insights into the environmental and social impact of their suppliers.

A value chain represents the entire lifecycle of a product or service, from raw material sourcing to production, distribution, and beyond. In the Klappir Platform, the Value Chain function helps organizations map, monitor, and assess suppliers based on sustainability data.

Why is this important?

Organizations rely on global suppliers, but sustainability risks vary by location.
Regulations and reporting requirements, like CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), call for greater transparency.
Companies need accurate, real-time data to reduce environmental impact and improve ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) performance.

What is the Sustainable Development Goal Index (SDi)?
The SDGi is a globally recognized benchmark that evaluates countries using 125 sustainability metrics. It provides a standardized way to assess environmental, social, and economic factors, allowing users to compare sustainability performance across different geographic regions.

How SDGi Data strengthens your Value Chain
By integrating SDGi data, Klappir enhances the sustainability assessment of suppliers in the Value Chain. Each supplier can now be analyzed not just by their business practices but also by the sustainability performance of their geographical location.

Key benefits of SDGi Integration:

Risk Identification: Spot potential sustainability risks linked to a supplier’s region.
Better decision-making: Choose suppliers based on environmental and social impact, not just cost or convenience.

The SDGi scoring system explained

Each country receives an SDGi score between 0 and 100, where:

100 represents the most sustainable conditions for responsible business operations.
Lower scores indicate higher sustainability risks, including environmental degradation, weak governance, and social instability.

For organizations this numeric scoring system simplifies supplier evaluation by providing a quantifiable sustainability metric.

Moving toward a smarter, more transparent Value Chain

The integration of SDGi data into the Value Chain creates a data-driven approach to supply chain management. Whether you are a sustainability specialist, HR manager or the Financial Director, this update provides clear, actionable insights to possible risk in the supply chain and limiting the effects of poor supplier choices on sustainability performance.
