At ELEVATE, our job is clear:

We facilitate trade and feature supply chain assessment, program development, operational results, and continuous remediation and improvement to ensure success in a changing trade environment.
Services and value-creating offerings include:
- Analytics and technology: Geographic and product risk indices, vendor and factory ESG ratings, media scans;

- Supply chain assessment: Supply chain security, workplace, social and environmental compliance, investigations; and
- Supply chain program management: Full outsourcing, interim program support, multi-stakeholder engagement.
It is increasingly clear that companies will have to transform their programs to meet a new higher standard of due diligence. This requires a commitment to transparency, visibility and the thoughtful management of risk and performance. It requires a commitment to business driven sustainability.
We engage, we innovate, we inspire, we ELEVATE.
