Supply Chain Compliance & Due Diligence

Audit-Ready Evidence for EU, US, and Australian Regulatory Obligations — Verified On-Site in China, Structured for Your Local Legal Review

Sourcing industrial, renewable-energy and data-center infrastructure products from China requires rigorous supply-chain due diligence. Penalties for non-compliance include customs delays, import bans, financial fines and lasting reputational damage.As your local China supply chain compliance partner, we deliver due diligence solutions that balance rigour with practicality.
As your on-the-ground China partner, we bridge the gap between on-site verification and local regulatory acceptance. We combine verified third-party commercial intelligence with on-site factory audit expertise to deliver structured, documentable compliance assessments. Every report is built for cross-jurisdictional usability — available in English as standard, with executive summaries in German, French or other target-market languages upon request, and structured to be adopted by your in-house or external counsel in the EU, US and Australia. We help importers, EPC contractors, system integrators and project developers meet their regulatory duties without disrupting their sourcing operations.

Core Compliance Due Diligence Services

Our core due-diligence services and the specific outputs you receive for each.

Compliance Service	What We Deliver
Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) Tracing	We trace ownership chains through multiple layers of shell companies and holding structures to identify the actual controlling parties behind each supplier. This reveals hidden connections to sanctioned entities, state-linked actors or high-risk individuals that surface-level registry checks would miss.
Sanctions & Watchlist Screening	We screen suppliers, key executives and affiliated entities against major global sanctions and watchlists – including OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated List, UN Sanctions List and relevant regional regimes. Screening covers both direct suppliers and their upstream partners to reduce hidden exposure.
PEP & Adverse Media Risk Review	We identify links to politically exposed persons (PEPs) and conduct structured adverse-media screening across corruption, sanctions evasion, fraud and regulatory violation records, giving you a fuller risk profile beyond basic registration data.
Labour & Human Rights Risk Assessment	We assess supply-chain exposure to forced labour, unsafe working conditions and human rights risks aligned with international standards. This supports compliance with import controls and mandatory modern-slavery reporting requirements across your target markets.
Multi-Tier Upstream Supply Chain Mapping	We map supply chains beyond your direct manufacturer to key component suppliers and raw material sources. This uncovers hidden risk in upper tiers that would otherwise remain invisible to standard single-level supplier checks.
Audit-Ready Documentation & Reporting	Every assessment is delivered as a structured, fully sourced report with traceable findings. Outputs are formatted to support internal compliance reviews, legal audits and regulatory disclosures, with clear risk ratings and recommended follow-up actions.

Our Dual-Source Advantage

Many compliance platforms deliver only desktop-based data screening. Many factory audit agencies deliver only physical inspection without structural risk analysis. We bring both together into one unified service:

Desktop intelligence layer: cross-jurisdiction ownership tracing, sanctions screening and upstream risk mapping
On-site verification layer: factory qualification audits, production capability validation and certification authenticity checks
Integrated final report: one unified deliverable combining digital risk findings and on-site audit conclusions
This means you receive not just a data printout, but a risk assessment grounded in real, on-the-ground understanding of Chinese manufacturing.

Regulatory Coverage

Our core due-diligence outputs are mapped against the following frameworks. For markets not listed below, we assess applicability on a case-by-case basis.

European Union: Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). Note: The CSDDD was amended by the Omnibus I Directive (EU) 2026/470, which narrowed its scope and delayed application. Member States must transpose by 26 July 2028; obligations apply from 26 July 2029. Our outputs align with the CSDDD as currently amended.
Germany: Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz (LkSG / German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act). Note: The LkSG is undergoing reform; scope and obligations are subject to change. We monitor legislative developments and align our assessments with the current applicable framework.
United States: Forced-labour import controls and OFAC sanctions compliance. Note: US customs enforcement increasingly targets supply chains with forced-labour exposure; our assessments are structured to support import admissibility and sanctions screening requirements.
Australia: Modern Slavery Act.
Other jurisdictions: UK Modern Slavery Act, Canada’s Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act, Japan’s Act on Promotion of Supply Chain Due Diligence, Swiss due-diligence obligations, and other emerging frameworks. Contact us to confirm coverage for your specific market.
Our assessments also align with OECD Due Diligence Guidance, UN Guiding Principles, and ILO core conventions, which underpin many national regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you screen both direct suppliers and their upstream sub-suppliers?

Yes. We can conduct risk assessment across multi-tier supply chains, from direct manufacturers through to key component and raw material suppliers, based on your required depth of review.

How is this service priced?

Compliance due-diligence is quoted separately based on the number of suppliers, depth of ownership-chain tracing, industry sector and required regulatory scope. It can be bundled with our sourcing and factory-audit services for a combined rate.

Do you provide legal advice on supply-chain compliance?

We deliver structured, sourced due-diligence reports and risk assessments to support your internal compliance and legal teams. We do not provide formal legal opinions.

Do you work with local legal counsel, and can your reports be used by our lawyers?

Yes. While we do not provide formal legal opinions, our reports are structured to be usable by your in-house or external legal counsel in your target jurisdictions.

We can:

Format findings and evidence to align with the documentation standards your local lawyers require;
Coordinate with your legal advisors in the EU, US or Australia to clarify regulatory interpretation where needed;
Provide source-linked, traceable records so your counsel can independently verify and adopt our findings into their own legal analysis.

This means you get a compliance assessment that is not only grounded in on-the-ground verification in China, but also practical for your local legal and regulatory review process.

Do you cover regulations in countries not listed on this page?

Yes. The frameworks listed above are our core coverage. For other jurisdictions, we assess the applicable requirements and confirm scope before engagement. If your target market has mandatory supply-chain due-diligence or forced-labour import rules, we can structure the assessment to support compliance with those obligations.
