Risk mapping, the tool to screen your suppliers
Are you a buyer, a procurement manager, or a key player in your supply chain? You know that supplier risks can undermine your CSR commitments, your regulatory compliance, and the strength of your relationships with both internal stakeholders and your partners.
With AFNOR mapping, you can enhance
- Internal communication, involving decision-makers and business units from the moment a need is identified.
- Supplier relationships, by assessing their readiness to address CSR challenges.
- Your ability to innovate by turning every risk into an opportunity for improvement.

Your three-step action plan
1. Identify the raw risks
Build on a solid foundation of 13 CSR issues (environmental, social, and ethical) to create a clear and comprehensive risk map, broken down by procurement category and country.
The data is compiled by AFNOR industry experts and cross-referenced with reliable sources such as the ILO, the World Bank, COFACE, and others.
2. Assess the issues
The platform combines severity and probability to assess the criticality level of each issue. A weighting algorithm refines the analysis based on geographic region (covering more than 170 countries) and provides you with an objective, context-specific risk assessment that remains consistent over time.
3. Develop action plans
Each product category includes personalized recommendations based on industry benchmarks. This allows you to:
- Mitigate gross risks
- Developing a structured progress plan
- Challenge your suppliers
- Refine your specifications.

How?
By combining three leading international voluntary standards familiar to management professionals: ISO 20400 (responsible procurement), ISO 31000 (risk management), and ISO 26000 (social responsibility)
Who is this for?
Buyers and procurement managers involved in purchasing decisions within large corporations, mid-sized companies, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across all sectors: food and beverage, banking and insurance, manufacturing, services, and textiles
Why?
To implement the law on the duty of care (for companies with more than 5,000 employees in France), enforce the Sapin II anti-corruption law, learn from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has strained the customer-supplier relationship, and prepare for the European CS3D (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence) Directive.
