Abstract

The economic success of companies depends to a large extent on an intact and reliable supply chain. At the same time, logistics has an enormous impact on the global economy and ecology in today’s world. In order to address this problem, this article is dedicated to optimize the evaluation and selection of suppliers. It provides an approach for selecting suppliers based on the status of sustainability and the legal basis (related to sustainability) in the country of origin. Therefore a strategy has been developed to calculate a risk score for each country individually. It focuses on eight Sustainable Development Goals that are most relevant in the context of supply chains. A readiness check was developed to check if a company complies with the legal basis of the selected country.
