“STAR Index evolved from our vast experience of Supply Chain Risk Assessment and Management coupled with an understanding that Sustainability and Responsible Sourcing are key to the future. At STAR Index we believe everyone has a part to play in turning the world around on climate change, sustainability, responsible sourcing and ethics – and we want to make that journey as easy and efficient as possible for our customer partners in order to maximise positive results.”
