ATLAS, Mapping of Suppliers and Subcontractors

ATLAS, a platform that enables our clients to independently and reliably map their suppliers across various criteria (ESG, sovereignty, logistics, financial stability, technical stability, etc.).

independently manage your value chain

Use ATLAS to identify internal logistics, technical, financial, ESG, regulatory, ethical, and sovereignty risks associated with your suppliers and subcontractors.

ATLAS is a dedicated mapping and evaluation solution operated by the company for its suppliers and subcontractors.

Why is this solution essential?

Companies, all contracting entities, and other stakeholders in sensitive sectors must now demonstrate control over their value chains.

CSRD, due diligence, investors’ ESG requirements, regulatory compliance, industrial sovereignty, cybersecurity, critical dependencies, logistics, financial strength, technical strength, and the requirements of major contractors all necessitate a better understanding of suppliers and subcontractors.

Failing to map third parties now poses a major operational, financial, regulatory, and reputational risk.

The Risks of an Unmapped Value Chain

Regulatory Risks

CSRD non-compliance, duty of care, ESG obligations, sector-specific requirements, or public tenders.

Sovereign Risks

Critical dependencies, exposure to sensitive foreign actors, loss of strategic control.

Reputational Risks

Subcontractors involved in practices that violate ethical, social, or environmental commitments.

Financial Risks

Difficulties in accessing financing, stricter requirements from banks and investors.

Operational Risks

Supply disruptions, unidentified dependencies, and vulnerabilities among strategic suppliers.

Cyber Risks and Security

Indirect exposure to vulnerabilities or sensitive service providers.

An ESG and Sovereign Assessment of Your Suppliers

As an independent and fully autonomous trusted third party, ESTRADS Certification assists organizations in identifying, evaluating, and monitoring their strategic suppliers and subcontractors.

Our approach is based, in particular, on:

The CeeRSE Charter for Evaluation ESG ;
the National Sovereignty Index (NSI) for assessing sovereignty;
European, national, and sector-specific standards;
criteria tailored to complex and sensitive sectors.

The goal: to provide clients with a clear, reliable, and actionable view of the risks and commitments within their value chain.

Assessments aligned with French and European requirements

Organizations that use the ATLAS platform have access to a fully customizable dashboard. The evaluation criteria can be fully customized to meet the clients’ expectations:

ESG,
managing the level of sovereignty,
logistical challenges,
financial stability,
technical soundness,
etc.

ESTRADS Certification will be able to assist the company in selecting the criteria it wishes to implement on its platform.ESTRADS Certification ’s assessment standards are based on regulatory, normative, and industry-specific frameworks. They help organizations meet their compliance obligations and manage risks associated with their suppliers

Our measures take the following into account, among other things:

European ESG requirements;
the CSRD;
the challenges of the duty of care;
issues of sovereignty;
resilience requirements for supply chains;
the constraints specific to sensitive and strategic sectors.

A phased approach tailored to your operational reality

There are two possible solutions:

Integration of the ATLAS platform within the company, enabling it to independently assess its suppliers based on customized criteria. The ATLAS platform is designed to score anywhere from about ten to several hundred or thousands of entities.;
Process outsourcing at ESTRADS Certification. Our teams are responsible for audits and the company’s entire supplier knowledge management process.

ESTRADS Certification offers a phased, prioritized approach that enables organizations to quickly secure their most critical partners.

For example, organizations can:

Start with the 10% of suppliers that are most strategic;
prioritize critical or sensitive suppliers;
target specific categories of purchases;
gradually assess their entire value chain.

This approach makes it possible to achieve tangible results quickly while keeping costs and operational workload under control.

Why choose a a sovereign actor?

“When a company has its suppliers and subcontractors assessed by a non-sovereign certification body, it exposes its entire strategic value chain in terms of industrial dependencies, critical partners, technical capabilities, operational organization, and even sensitive sovereignty issues.
In certain complex and sensitive sectors, this information can represent a major economic, industrial, and even strategic challenge. That is why we believe it is essential that these assessments be conducted by a French, independent, and sovereign entity not subject to the Cloud Act.
Choosing ESTRADS Certification means selecting a trusted third party that understands the challenges of confidentiality, resilience, and sovereignty faced by European organizations. “Our mission is to support companies with a robust, impartial, and secure approach, while ensuring control over and protection of the sensitive data entrusted to us.”
