What this means in practice
Translate the provision into accountable decisions and documented processes. The exact application depends on the entity, the relevant national law and any applicable sector-specific rules.
Implementation questions
- Identify critical direct suppliers
- Review contract and assurance evidence
- Plan for supplier incidents and continuity
Evidence to organise
| Record | What to check |
|---|---|
| Supplier inventory | Owner, currency, approval and follow-up actions |
| Due diligence records | Owner, currency, approval and follow-up actions |
| Contract and remediation register | Owner, currency, approval and follow-up actions |
These are planning prompts, not an exhaustive legal checklist or proof of compliance.
