With Clarity, Group Helps Companies Manage Risks and Opportunities in Supply Chains and Communicate Sustainability Results More Transparently

In addition to financial performance and innovation capacity, companies are now evaluated by their positive impact on people and the planet. Given this scenario, Bureau Veritas, a global leader in Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC), expands its portfolio of Sustainability solutions and launches Clarity, a tool that helps leaders analyze ESG practices across their supply chains. The solution provides a comprehensive view of the maturity of agendas in companies and their supplier networks, facilitating decision-making and communication of results to stakeholders with greater transparency and credibility.

“Trust is one of the absolute values of Bureau Veritas and has guided our work for 195 years. Data shows that 87% of consumers and 99% of investors make their decisions based on the level of commitment of companies to Sustainability. We developed Clarity so that our clients can better understand the impact of their actions, including in supplier selection, and strengthen their stakeholders’ trust by proving, through solid goals and indicators, that they act responsibly throughout their value chain,” explains Andressa Lisboa, Director of Certification and Auditing at Bureau Veritas.

Clarity uses a framework with over 600 indicators, compiled from Bureau Veritas’ global operations in projects related to Environmental, Social Responsibility, and Corporate Governance. Such reach allows the tool to analyze a wide range of topics, from ESG pillars to more specific issues like Climate Change, Biodiversity, Sustainable Procurement, Energy Efficiency, and Animal Welfare. With this, leaders can monitor the overall performance of the company, as well as the opportunities and specific risks of a particular operation or point in the supply chain. For transnational companies or those with very complex operations, the solution helps standardize the assessment, taking into account the variation and particularity of the different sites involved.

Bureau Veritas’ solution offers accuracy, reliability, efficiency, practicality, and a general analysis for assessing data on companies’ sustainable performance. The specialized ESG team at Bureau Veritas gathers all the information with each of the suppliers. The results are made available in an online dashboard, organized by topics, geography, and criticality level for control and analysis of developments. Clarity users also receive consulting from Bureau Veritas for action plan development, with review of indicators and goal setting, and a verified diagnostic of metrics for preparing Sustainability reports.

Clarity integrates the BV Green Line portfolio, a line with over 40 products and services from Bureau Veritas to help clients understand their level of sustainable maturity and evolve with the implementation of socio-environmental practices and Governance.
