Championing Transparency, Responsibility, and a Resilient Supply Chain
The core of a sustainable business is found within its supply chain and operations. We know that to safeguard our natural ecosystems and protect the livelihoods and well-being of people around the world we must invest in creating sustainable supply chains.
Sustainability priorities for organisations continue to grow. While energy and decarbonisation remain high on the priority list, there is a heightened focus and commitment from organisations to drive progress on key impact areas including human rights, social impact and DEI, circularity and waste, pollution, nature and biodiversity, and water stewardship. The best pathway to driving impact on these initiatives lies within the broader value chain. However, the global landscape and complexity of these networks result in companies struggling to fully understand how these risks and opportunities that traverse across issues, industries, and locations truly impact their business, and how to prioritise, plan, and implement tools for identification, mitigation, reporting, and impact.
How do businesses make supply chains more sustainable? Our team of supply chain sustainability and responsible sourcing experts can help you embed sustainability into your procurement and production processes, creating a wealth of benefits from mitigating and managing risks, complying with global and local regulations, enhancing and protecting your reputation, and creating competitive advantages that contribute to long-term business success in an evolving and complex global landscape.
We support clients to drive truly sustainable change on a global scale. The team works with a diverse range of brands, retailers, suppliers, and manufacturers to understand the sustainability performance of their suppliers and consider both the social and environmental impacts of global supply chains.

Supply Chain Risk & Due Diligence
Proactively identify risks across your value chains and develop effective due diligence plans and processes to mitigate risks, ensure regulatory compliance, enhance resilience, improve decision-making, and maintain your competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Supply Chain Governance is built on 3 core principles: transparency, accountability, and sustainability. By implementing and embracing a robust supply chain strategy and governance practice, organisations can ensure that they are proactively prepared for supply chain disruptions while contributing to positive value chain impacts and the creation of a more just and sustainable world.
We provide a tailored and comprehensive approach to support businesses seeking to embed sustainability into their core operations by developing, implementing, and managing sustainable practices and governance frameworks that foster responsible and resilient supply chains.
Supplier Engagement Program Design and Implementation
Our supplier engagement service supports organisations in developing a proactive and strategic approach to building strong, sustainable, and mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers.
Our experts will help you understand and quantify your Scope 3 emissions and work with you to determine the right levers to engage your internal and external stakeholders, implementing change management plans to deliver decarbonisation across your supply chain.
We’ll design and deploy supplier engagement programs that enable supplier action and capacity building on various ESG topics, including evaluating and selecting supplier engagement and data collection solutions, and utilising our in-house tools.
Our Scope 3 & Supplier Engagement guide helps buisnesses understand that the environmental impact of their business not only consists of monitoring their own direct emissions, but also requires tracking Scope 3 emissions throughout supply and value chains.
Every day, more organisations set science-based net zero targets, aligning their carbon reduction strategies with global climate targets. But as they turn from target setting to target achievement, they run into a stark realisation – they lack the data needed to effectively reduce their carbon footprint and to define KPI’s for tracking progress.
Tesco Exchange provides the platform for our suppliers to match their excess stock or waste with other suppliers’ resource demands, ultimately saving cost and reducing waste in our supply chain. Building upon the success of the Livestock Marketplace on the Tesco Supplier Network with our trusted partner Anthesis, Tesco Exchange connects suppliers and unlocks opportunities for us to work towards our shared targets of net zero by 2050, and halving global food waste by 2025.
Andrew McGregor – Sustainability Programme Manager, Tesco
We are delighted to be able to offer thousands of suppliers access to market-leading supply chain finance linked to sustainability. This programme not only provides suppliers with a real incentive to set science-based emissions reduction targets, it will help embed sustainability goals throughout our supply chain and support the UK in realising its climate change targets.
Anthesis brought an incredible depth of understanding of the complexities of recycling systems to tackle a nuanced subject, highlighting their decades of industry experience and rigorous analytical skills. They were a reliable partner and helped shed light on important details of molecular recycling technologies, enabling us to better assess where these technologies fit in a circular economy.
Kate Daly – Managing Director of the Center for the Circular Economy, Closed Loop Partners
The challenge with this type of project is finding the right advisory partner that instinctively understands what is needed, understand our business, and can deliver efficiently against the project brief. Anthesis’ way of working and communicating enabled us to execute the project on time, on budget, and to an excellent standard.
Heinrich Jonker – Quality Systems Manager, SIG Building Solutions
Anthesis were an excellent partner to carry out this review. They brought a wealth of technical knowledge in order to effectively gather information on our internal processes and how these impact our supply chain. The resulting report provided a useful and accessible set of recommendations, supporting us on a clear roadmap toward industry best practice.
[Anthesis] has been instrumental in helping to evolve our strategic sustainability thinking working with all stakeholders through the process and supporting our positive impact ambition.
The supply chain report produced by Anthesis was a key element of the success of the initial public offering (IPO) of In The Style. The report ensured investor confidence in ITS and set out a clear roadmap to guide progress.
