The challenge
Brazil's footwear industry struggled to prove its sustainability practices during the audit process for the Origem Sustentável seal, the sector's Brazilian sustainability certification. A lack of standardization and scattered information and evidence made certification slower, more complex and more costly for participating companies.
How the solution was applied
With support from ESG Now, Abicalçados and Assintecal began using a centralized platform to gather, organize and standardize the information and evidence the seal requires.
The solution made document management easier, improved the traceability of information and simplified access to the materials needed during audits. That is why this case relates to AuditReady, the product for managing evidence, requirements and audit processes.
The result
Centralizing the evidence made the certification process simpler, more organized, more transparent and faster, reducing operational effort and costs.
Using the platform also helped establish the Origem Sustentável seal as a sustainability benchmark for the footwear sector.
