Demonstrate supplier compliance across nine key risk areas

Verified supplier will confirm your commitment to best industry practices and safe processes as a supplier. To achieve verification, our risk management specialists will assess the following areas of supply chain risk management:

Health and safety

CHAS will verify whether your company has a health and safety policy or valid certification with standards such as Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) or ISO 45001.

Financial

We’ll verify your protocols for mitigating financial risks by assessing your financial documents, forecasted turnover and the financial health of your sub-contractors.

Insurance

Business insurances are a legal requirement, protecting your business and potential clients from mistakes, accidents, theft, damage and legal fees.

Environmental

We’ll ask you to answer environmental questions to determine whether your company has taken the necessary steps to comply with environmental protection standards.

Quality

Quality management is critical to ensuring that any materials supplied to clients meet quality standards. We’ll ask you to provide documentation based on the type of materials you provide.

Equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI)

We’ll verify whether your company promotes equality and diversity in the workplace and ensures that all people are treated fairly.

Modern slavery

CHAS will confirm that your organisation has taken steps to assess and manage modern slavery and human trafficking risks. Under the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015, some organisations must publish an annual statement explaining the measures that they take to prevent modern slavery in their business and their supply chain.

Corporate and social responsibility (CSR)

We’ll verify your corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy and confirm your actions to prevent workplace bullying, gender pay gaps and minimum wage breaches.
