An ESG checklist for sourcing in China

An ESG checklist for sourcing in China

ESG due diligence in China has matured well beyond a one-off audit. Buyers now need continuous, document-backed visibility – across labour, environmental and governance dimensions.

Our recommended checklist starts with verified social audits (BSCI, SMETA, SA8000), but extends into wastewater handling, energy mix disclosure, and verified working hours data drawn from time-and-attendance systems.

Procubility's framework consolidates these signals into a single readable report – designed to satisfy procurement, legal and ESG stakeholders in one pass.
