CSRD and chain reporting

Sustainability reporting requires chain data. And the chain, that is you.

What role does procurement play in European sustainability reporting? The one-day CSRD and Chain Reporting training from the Supply Value Academy provides the answer: what chain data your organization needs, how to obtain it from suppliers without burdening the relationship, and how to move from reporting obligations to chain management. The training does not require any reporting or legal knowledge.

Why this training

The CSRD places the reporting burden on your organization, but the data is contained within the chain: emissions, labor conditions, material flows. Finance cannot collect those figures. Procurement and supply chain can, because you have the relationship and the contract.

This day will guide you through the process without drowning you in guidelines: what the chain really requires, how to request it in a way that suppliers can accept, and how to turn the reporting into something useful: driving a more sustainable chain.

You can do this afterwards

  • You know what the CSRD and the corresponding standards of your organization and the chain require, without needing to be a lawyer.
  • You determine which chain data has priority (dual materiality) and where to find it.
  • You can make data requests with suppliers workably: proportionate, contractually guaranteed and repeatable.
  • You translate reporting into control: from collecting numbers to improving the chain.

Target group

Purchasers, contract managers, supply chain professionals and sustainability advisors at organizations that fall under the CSRD or encounter CSRD inquiries from customers as a supplier.

Prior knowledge: none; familiarity with the own supplier portfolio is sufficient.

Program

  • CSRD in plain language: who, what, when, and what it means for procurement and the supply chain
  • Double materiality: determining which chain themes and data are relevant for your organization
  • The specific data question: emissions (scope 3), social chain risks, and circularity
  • Requesting data from suppliers: proportionally, standardized and without damaging the relationship
  • Contract management and supplier management: from one-off requests to a regular process
  • From reporting to control: setting chain goals and making progress visible
  • Your action plan: the first ninety days of your portfolio

Trainer

The training is provided by consultants from Supply Value who help organizations with sustainable client engagement and chain management, in collaboration with a reporting specialist [verify: final staffing]. The examples come from ongoing projects.

Frequently asked questions

No. We handle just enough of the regulations to understand your role; the core is practical: which data, from which suppliers, how to collect it, and how to utilize it. The reporting itself remains within finance; the chain input comes from you.

Probably so: large customers are pushing their reporting obligations down the chain. Those who see the request coming and have their data in order turn an obligation into a commercial advantage.
