D&B helped the client to proactively manage vendor and supplier risk by evaluating both current and prospective suppliers for compliance and sustainability performance, risk assessments and integrated necessary frameworks.
The client struggled with limited visibility into supplier compliance and sustainability, making it difficult to proactively manage risks. They lacked real-time monitoring of supplier risk profiles and faced delays due to outdated information and poor integration with existing compliance systems. These challenges hindered efficient risk management and decision-making.
Internally, the client struggled with fragmented risk data, manual processes, and poor system integration, which led to inefficiencies and delayed decision-making. Limited real-time insights further hindered their ability to proactively manage emerging supplier risks.
Externally, the client faced a rapidly changing supplier landscape marked by evolving regulations, supplier volatility, and global complexity. Ensuring compliance was challenging, and unpredictable shifts in supplier operations introduced risk. Additionally, associations with non-compliant or unsustainable suppliers posed serious reputational threats, potentially undermining stakeholder trust.
As a trusted global partner in credit information and financial risk assessment through RA-SI, D&B identified key opportunities to strengthen the company’s vendor and supplier risk management framework. By addressing critical gaps such as global family tree linkages, Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO) identification, and ownership structure transparency, D&B enabled deeper visibility into supplier networks. The solution also enhanced onboarding due diligence, flagged potential trade sanction risks, and provided sustainability insights—empowering them to make more informed, compliant, and responsible sourcing decisions.
