Sustainability requirements do not stop at national borders. Companies increasingly need information about their international business partners to meet the growing expectations of customers, authorities, and stakeholders. To address this need, the Reliable Partner Sustainability Report is now being expanded to companies operating within the EU and EEA.
Previously, the service was available only to Finnish companies. Going forward, companies across the EU and EEA can benefit from the same reporting model and easily share their sustainability information with business partners.
One Report, Less Administrative Work
Many companies request the same sustainability information from their suppliers in different formats. This creates unnecessary manual work for both buyers and suppliers.
The purpose of the Sustainability Report is to simplify the collection and sharing of information by providing a single, standardized way to answer the most common sustainability-related questions. When information is gathered in one place, it can be used to meet the needs of multiple customers without requiring separate reports or questionnaires.
With international availability, companies throughout the supply chain can now provide their sustainability data using the same reporting framework as Finnish businesses.
International Supply Chains Need a Common Approach
Many Finnish companies work with suppliers across Europe. At the same time, demonstrating sustainability performance has become an increasingly important part of supplier selection, risk management, and procurement processes.
By making the report available to companies throughout the EU and EEA, buyers can access more consistent sustainability data across their supply chains. This improves comparability and reduces the need for separate information requests.
The expansion is particularly beneficial for companies that collaborate with international suppliers and want to streamline the management of sustainability information.
Continuous Development of the Service Structure
The Sustainability Report is also undergoing technical development. The service is gradually evolving into a modular solution that enables customers to select industry-specific content within a single report.
The goal is to reduce duplicate work. When a company answers a specific sustainability question once, the same information can be reused across multiple modules. This simplifies reporting and saves time.
At the same time, new industry-specific modules are being introduced, allowing companies to respond more accurately to the sustainability requirements of their own sectors.
Making Sustainability Information Easier to Share
Corporate sustainability obligations and customer information requirements continue to grow. As a result, collecting and sharing sustainability data should be as efficient and straightforward as possible.
The international availability of the Reliable Partner Sustainability Report marks an important step toward more consistent and efficient sustainability information management throughout the European supply chain. When information is easily accessible and presented in a standardized format, companies can focus less on reporting and more on improving their sustainability performance.
