APEXIOS performs Supplier ECA on the operations of any firm in the client's supply chain, such as raw material producers, distributors, transporters, and waste recycling, treatment, storage and disposal facilities. The Supplier ECA is less detailed than the typical ECA and is designed around the client's corporate culture, budget allowances and risk tolerance. The Supplier ECA is an important element in environmental management systems by assuring the client that no aspect of its suppliers' operations presents a legal and environmental risk to the client's own financial health.
