Today, AWS announces the general availability of AWS Supply Chain Sustainability, a module that creates a more secure and efficient way for companies to obtain Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) documents and datasets from their supplier network. With this module, customers can request, collect, and export artifacts, such as product life cycle assessments, certificates on product safety, or reports on hazardous substances used, at any point in the supply chain. Customers can also upload their own data collection form for their suppliers to document any sustainability issue, utilize a standard workflow process to send their suppliers reminders to answer data requests, and communicate necessary changes based on supplier responses.
Managing compliance artifacts like carbon emissions and hazardous material disclosures at scale is challenging, and has traditionally been done via email, fax, and messaging apps, without formal tracking and auditing mechanisms. As a result, many organizations struggle to meet increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. AWS Supply Chain Sustainability provides a central repository, enabling customers to request, collect, and audit carbon emissions and other compliance data from their suppliers. These capabilities will help customers provide compliance information for ESG regulations with a single, auditable record of the data.
AWS Supply Chain Sustainability is available to customers in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Europe (Frankfurt), and Asia Pacific (Sydney) regions.
