Incident Alerts
Beyond audit tool
Scan suppliers for ESG controversies
LRQA’s Sentinel tool is an adverse media screening tool used to scan suppliers for ESG controversies.
Sentinel leverages human intervention and machine learning technology to deliver near-real time supply chain ESG risk monitoring. Standard audits offer only a snapshot risk assessment of suppliers’ performances and cannot provide an ongoing review. Sentinel goes beyond the audit to resolve this gap, providing a scalable solution with greater coverage than the industry standard.
Used by investors and corporates for:
- New supplier screening and selection
- Near real-time risk identification
- Alerts on critical issues e.g., forced labour, that may otherwise be missed by conventional audits
- Informing spot-check audits
- Internal and external reporting
Incident alerts from LRQA delivers:
