Project Overview

In alignment with its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments, Virupaksha Organics Limited partnered with Oren to strengthen ESG literacy among its suppliers and enhance sustainable procurement practices. This initiative was a strategic step toward improving the company’s performance in the EcoVadis assessment, ensuring compliance with global sustainability benchmarks.

The collaboration focused on delivering specialized ESG training sessions to suppliers while systematically gathering insights to identify knowledge gaps and opportunities for improvement. The objective was clear: to equip suppliers with the necessary expertise to embed ESG principles into their daily operations, fostering a more responsible and resilient supply chain.

Key Challenges

• Limited ESG Knowledge: Many suppliers lacked a comprehensive understanding of ESG principles and their direct impact on both their own business operations and those of their supply chain partners, such as Virupaksha Organics.
• Engagement Barriers: Ensuring active participation and effective knowledge retention across diverse departments, roles, and levels of expertise proved to be a significant challenge among suppliers.

Oren’s Solutions

To address these challenges, Oren implemented a structured and impact-driven approach:

• Customized ESG Training Programs: Oren developed tailored training modules for 20+ suppliers, focusing on environmental sustainability, social responsibility, corporate ethics, and governance best practices. These sessions were designed to be accessible and actionable for Virupaksha’s diverse supplier network.
• Feedback-Driven Improvement: A structured feedback system was introduced to assess training effectiveness. By analyzing participant insights, Oren refined the content to maximize engagement and ensure continuous improvement in ESG adoption.

Key Outcomes

• Enhanced ESG Awareness: Suppliers gained a deeper understanding of ESG principles, empowering them to implement sustainable practices aligned with global standards, including EcoVadis requirements.
• Stronger Supplier Engagement: The interactive training approach fostered active participation, encouraging suppliers to embed ESG considerations into their decision-making processes.

By collaborating with Oren, Virupaksha Organics Limited has improved its sustainable procurement performance, equipping its supply chain with the knowledge and tools needed to meet evolving ESG expectations. This initiative underscores Virupaksha’s commitment to responsible business practices, positioning the company for long-term success in a sustainability-driven global marketplace.
