PwC’s solution for compliance and transparency in the supply chain

Many companies face specific compliance challenges due to new regulations concerning global supply and value chains. Directives such as the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (SCDDA), the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and the European Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) require extensive monitoring and reporting obligations along the entire supply chain. Moreover, they demand proof of social and environmental protection measures. 

We have developed a software to support your company’s growing compliance challenges. With our value chain compliance suite “Check Your Value Chain”, you can ensure compliance with relevant ESG regulations such as the SCDDA, CSDDD, CBAM and EUDR – with full risk transparency. 

The challenges of SCDDA, CSDDD, CBAM, EUDR, and future regulations

ESG regulations are constantly growing and changing, confronting companies with increasingly complex compliance requirements for their supply and value chains. Since the beginning of 2024, German companies with more than 1,000 employees are required to analyse their global value chains to comply with the SCDDA. The legislation aims to improve supply chain transparency, strengthen human rights, and minimise environmental risks. The CSDDD expands these requirements to downstream supply chains. Furthermore, the EUDR aims to ban products associated with deforestation from the EU market. The CBAM requires importers to pay for their products’ carbon emissions. In short, value chain reporting and compliance obligations are increasing significantly.

In practice, the long-term implications of these laws are often still unclear. Furthermore, the EU Omnibus proposal published in February 2025 shows that the regulatory environment is as complex as it is dynamic. However, it is clear that companies must conduct a comprehensive risk analysis of their supply chains. Implementing compliance, which involves manually checking each business partner and/or product individually, is hardly possible without automation and suitable software, as this would tie up enormous resources and require costly internal processes.

To meet all requirements promptly, it is crucial to establish structures and processes for risk analyses, measures management, and reporting now. Companies must gain a clear overview of how their compliance processes should function and which tools are in use. Given the increasing demands on supply chain regulations, proactive adaptation is essential to mitigate the legal and financial risks.

Our solution

With our value chain compliance suite “Check Your Value Chain”, companies can identify, assess, mitigate and report on risks in their value and supply chains.

Thanks to its modular approach, the software offers companies the right support to implement due diligence obligations in accordance with the SCDDA, CSDDD, EUDR, and CBAM, as well as other ESG Regulations such as the EU Battery Regulation, in a legally compliant manner. All necessary steps to fulfil these obligations are carried out for the entire business partner and relevant product portfolio in a systematic and audit-proof end-to-end process.

The solution continuously analyses large amounts of data sources on the respective business partners, including benchmarks and indices.

A detailed analysis identifies the highest-risk business partners, which companies can then address through targeted measures, individual risk mitigation, and automated reporting to save users significant time and expense.

Your added value

“Check Your Value Chain” is a legally compliant, adaptable and audit-proof solution. The software can be used to automatically identify, assess and prioritise risks relating to human rights, the environment and governance, as well as to define and track measures – in the case of SCDDA and CSDDD, also as managed services.

Ongoing monitoring of all business partners and continuous documentation of every step of your supply chain due diligence ensure that you always have comprehensive transparency over the entire process and robust ESG risk management. Audit-proof reports, which can be exported for publication and distribution at any time, help you to meet regulatory requirements.

This not only reduces your compliance risk but also creates efficient and resource-saving structures that enable you to make your supply chains resilient to tomorrow’s challenges and act as a sustainable pioneer in the market.
