Supply Chain Influence Checklist

You have influence if you are able to change certain practices of (indirect) trade partners. This is the case if:

• By talking to your business partner you manage to change his/her behaviour.

• The conditions in your contract with the organisation leave room for inclusion of CSR requirements.

• Your company represents a large part of the organisation’s turn-over.

• The organisation is susceptible to your promises with regards to future assignments or support in provision of training.

• Working together with you benefits the organisation ‘s reputation, whereas breaking off the relationship with you could potentially harm its reputation.

• You are in a position to co-determine the organisation’s financial and operational policy.

• You work together with other parties in your supply chain to exert pressure on the organisation (for example by means of a supply chain initiative).

• You work together with the government to implement CSR-related law and regulations or to ensure adherance.
