Sustainability Report Published

On the opening day of the Elmia Subcontracting trade fair in Jönköping Sweden, Scandic Sourcing introduced its first externally published Sustainability Report, marking a significant milestone for the company.

“We have been receiving numerous inquiries from our clients about our own sustainability practices, and this is the first time we are making this information publicly available,” stated Per Linden, founder of Scandic Sourcing AB.

Scandic Sourcing, has provided supply chain sustainability audit services, and has recently expanded its services to support clients with overseas supply chains with sustainability reporting services. supply chain sustainability data remains one of the most complex aspects of sustainability reporting.

The company's dedicated GRI certified (Global Reporting Initiative) team assists to put together sustainability reports on GRO, CSRD-ESRS or VSME-ESRS format.

“Ensuring reasonable transparency across the supply chain has always been a challenge. At Scandic Sourcing, we have been committed to addressing this for over 15 years,” noted Linden. The company pioneered its Supplier Code of Conduct Audit Program when larger corporations began implementing formal Supplier Code of Conduct policies and required third-party validation of adherence and improvement gaps.

“From the start, we recognized that standardized checklists and e-mailed questionnaires were insufficient for revealing the true conditions at supplier facilities. Only through comprehensive on-site inspections, tailored to each company’s risk profile, could we accurately assess the situation and drive improvements. Our systematic approach, incorporating stakeholder engagement and materiality analysis, aligns with the practices now formalized in the EU’s CSRD/ESRS directives.” Per Linden explained.

Scandic Sourcing’s longstanding commitment to sustainability and transparent supply chain auditing underscores its leadership in the industry.
