How to use the due diligence dashboard

The due diligence dashboard is structured as follows:

1. A filter bar with which suppliers can be filtered by risks, PO Spend, number of employees, Tags, countries of operation, business activities and tiers. 

Use the PO spend filter and the employees filter to set the scope and determine who should be included into the analysis. You can use the search bar to search for a specific supplier.

Example: 
You may filter for the tags "High risk" to consider your internal risk estimate about some suppliers or the tag "Complaint" to consider suppliers that are linked to a complaint that reached your company via its complaint mechanism.

2. The breakdown of suppliers according to their risk level in the LkSG reporting categories M1 - M10 and U1 - U3. 

3. Sorting options to determine the list's sorting order by company name, influence or number of employees.

4. The calculation methodology and the data sources used are described in more detail on the page "Learn how risks are calculated", which is accessible from the LkSG Dashboard.

5. Based on the risk profile, you can directly enact follow-up steps to selected suppliers: 

• Tag suppliers with results of your own risk analysis (e.g. low/high risk) or any other category suitable for your analysis. You can then filter the list for these tags. 
• Send a request to your suppliers, e.g. require them to complete one or multiple Maturity Assessment topics. 
• Document an action for your own documentation or reporting purposes.
