GRI-Compliant Supply Chain Reporting for ESG Investing

This case study outlines how Jenoptik, a global technology group based in Germany, utilizes the IntegrityNext platform to enhance its supply chain sustainability reporting in compliance with GRI standards. With the rise of ESG investing, Jenoptik recognizes the importance of sustainability as a value driver and seeks to monitor and track its supply chain performance effectively. The IntegrityNext solution provides Jenoptik with key performance indicators (KPIs) related to sustainability, which are automatically compiled into a comprehensive CSR report. This report facilitates both internal and external reporting processes. The platform has resulted in a high supplier response rate of 86%, attributed to its user-friendly interface and the absence of supplier fees. Additionally, it allows for improved follow-up actions by buyers, thereby enhancing sustainability performance over time. Jenoptik plans to scale its monitoring efforts to include more suppliers, further increasing transparency for investors regarding its sustainability strategy and performance.
