Third-party risk

Automotive compliance and due diligence

Third-party risk management solutions for companies in the automotive industry to efficiently source and onboard suppliers, distributors and resellers, meet global regulations and safeguard business reputation.

From production to sales, the automotive industry involves a vast network of third parties - suppliers, dealers, distributors – each with compliance and regulatory requirements that need to be met for effective third-party risk management.

The automotive industry faces a complex supply chain and market. Sourcing from low-cost manufacturing destinations brings the challenges of poor visibility and the need to balance cost-competitiveness against required quality benchmarks while meeting environmental, social and governance standards. 

Companies in the automotive industry face multiple risks in the supply chain and distribution network – from difficulty entering new markets due to a dependance on third parties, to dual use of some vehicles and expanded government regulations.

Third-party risk management solutions are essential to manage and mitigate integrity, ESG, operational and other risks that companies in the automotive industry may face.

What is due diligence for the automotive industry?

Volatile market demand, fierce competition, business models dispersed across multiple geographies, and customer demand for more features and better value, are a few of the challenges faced by the automotive industry. The industry is under pressure from global regulatory forces to ensure ethical and compliant business practices while solving these challenges. 

To mitigate operational, ESG and integrity risks, companies in the automotive industry must be knowledgeable of their third parties and ensure they are compliant with current laws. Reliability and continuity of suppliers and distributors must be assessed, while ensuring there are no sanctions, bribery or corruption risks associated with them.

Our third-party risk management solutions help companies in the automotive industry aim for integrity, profitability, sustainable practices, and societal impact, all while meeting compliance and regulatory requirements.
