Supply-chain & corporate integrity intelligence

What companies actually do, not what they claim.

The information needed to judge a company’s integrity already exists: in filings, court records, news in dozens of languages, NGO investigations and its own published claims. It is simply unreadable at human scale. Integrity Monitor makes it readable, and links every finding back to the source it came from.

The problem

Due diligence is manual, fragmented and reactive

A manufacturer can manage relationships with many suppliers across several continents, each under a different regulatory regime and exposed to different risks. The information needed to assess them is scattered across regulatory filings, news in dozens of languages, macroeconomic reports, patent registries, NGO monitoring databases and commercial registries, much of it unstructured, more than any analyst team can read.

So researching a single critical supplier can take procurement and compliance teams considerable time, and still capture only part of what is publicly known. Meanwhile the consequences of missing something have grown sharper on three fronts at once.

Regulation turned supply-chain knowledge into an obligation

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive requires large companies to report on sustainability, including material information about their value chain. The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive requires the largest companies to identify and address human-rights and environmental impacts in their chains of activities. The Digital Product Passport will add product data requirements, category by category. The 2026 Omnibus I revision narrowed who is in scope and pushed dates back, but for those still in scope the obligations stand, and since 27 September 2026 the ban on misleading green claims applies to every trader selling to consumers.

What reputation damage costs: the evidence is mixed

Major scandals have had measurable effects: after the ComROAD fraud, KPMG Germany’s other clients lost about 3% in value and more clients left the firm (Weber, Willenborg and Zhang, 2008). But a broad study of 110 media-covered events affecting the US Big Four between 2007 and 2019 found no systematic investor reaction and client losses that were short-lived and economically small, if larger where competition was higher and switching easier (Ege, Wang and Xu, 2025). Whether supply-chain relationships, with lower switching costs, are more exposed is plausible but not yet measured.

Smaller companies feel it through their customers

Large multinationals build dedicated teams of ESG analysts and compliance officers. The small and medium enterprises that form the backbone of European industry cannot. They are outside the main directives, but they receive information requests from customers that are in scope, and the rules on green claims apply to them directly.

What we’re building

An intelligence cycle that runs itself, and shows its work

Integrity Monitor automates the path from raw public information to a decision a professional can defend: systematic acquisition, semantic processing, multidimensional scoring, conversational querying and continuous alerting.

Acquire

Real-time news feeds, regulatory filings, macroeconomic databases, patent registries and companies’ own published claims, ingested continuously rather than gathered by hand for one report.

Understand

Language models read documents in many languages to extract entities, relationships and claims; a knowledge graph connects them, so exposure through a second- or third-tier supplier becomes visible.

Ground

Answers are generated from retrieved, indexed documents (retrieval-augmented, with sources cited), not from a model’s recollection. If it isn’t in a document, it isn’t in the answer.

Score

Findings roll into a multidimensional index with trends over time, where every component links back to the article, filing or claim that produced it.

Monitor

Assessment is not a one-off. Sources are re-harvested, results are compared, and material change raises an alert on the entities you watch.

Report

Structured reports and exports for the audit file, the compliance officer and the disclosure that regulation now requires.

The framework

Five dimensions of counterparty integrity

A reputation score that cannot be taken apart is worth little. Ours decomposes into five dimensions, each assessed from evidence that can be inspected.

Financial stability

Credit signals, liquidity, profitability and leverage, drawn from filings for listed counterparties and from registries and trade sources for private ones, benchmarked against the sector.

Compliance

Certifications and their validity, licences and permits, enforcement actions, cross-referenced with international and NGO monitoring of labour and human-rights standards.

Supply-chain stability

Concentration by geography and commodity, and country-level exposure assessed with OECD, IMF, World Bank and BIS data: political stability, conflict, disaster risk, logistics reliability.

ESG

Declared environmental and social commitments checked against independent reporting, NGO findings, regulatory action and investigative journalism, greenwashing and social-washing detection by design.

Strategy & innovation

R&D investment, patent activity, research collaboration, and demonstrated resilience: continuity planning, client diversification, adaptability through past disruption.

Products

One product shipped. The platform follows it.

We ship narrow and prove it works before widening. What is available is available today; what is not is labelled as such.

Available now

Reputation Index

Screens a brand’s environmental claims against Directive (EU) 2024/825, flags each one with the exact legal provision it trips, verifies the evidence behind it, and abstains when the facts aren’t established. Built for consultancies, audit firms and legal teams, now that the directive applies (since 27 September 2026).

In development

Supplier due diligence

The five-dimension assessment applied to a counterparty: financial health, compliance record, chain stability, ESG conduct and innovation capacity, assembled into one sourced profile.

In development

Portfolio monitoring

Continuous watch over a portfolio of suppliers or brands, with change detection and alerting when something material moves, extending the monitoring already shipped inside Reputation Index.

Planned

CSRD & CS3D reporting support

Feeding the evidence gathered for assessment directly into value-chain disclosure, so the same work serves both the decision and the report.

Planned

Further jurisdictions

Rule catalogs beyond EU and Italian law, and source coverage extended to the markets that European supply chains actually depend on.

How we build

Credibility is a construction, not a claim

These four rules are why a professional can put their name on our output. They are enforced in the product, not promised in the marketing.

Every finding carries its source

A conclusion without a traceable document behind it does not ship. Quotes are verified verbatim against the source; anything that fails is rejected, and the rejection is shown rather than hidden.

We abstain when the evidence is absent

“Not determined” is a first-class answer. A confident wrong judgment is worse than no judgment, because someone acts on it. Absence of evidence is never reported as evidence of absence.

The law is code, not inference

Where a legal rule applies, it is implemented deterministically and versioned: same input, same result, reproducible for an audit file years later. Models read language; they never judge the law.

Every limit is disclosed

Uncalibrated scores say so. MVP-grade components say so. We do not quote accuracy figures that no ground-truth dataset could support. A tool that states what it cannot do is worth more than one that claims everything.

Who it’s for

Anyone who has to answer for a counterparty

Enterprises & SMEs

Procurement and compliance teams that must assess suppliers with the rigour regulation now expects, including the smaller firms that never had an analyst team to do it.

Consultancies & auditors

Advisors who need defensible, citable evidence inside an engagement, and a method a client’s own lawyers can review line by line.

NGOs & institutions

Organisations investigating what sits behind corporate claims, who need the provenance trail as much as the finding.

    Greenwashing, scattano le nuove regole: 10 errori che possono costare fino a 10 milioni

    The article discusses Italy's new rules against greenwashing, in force since 27 September 2023, following transposition of the 2024 European directive. Companies must now communicate their environmental credentials more precisely and demonstrably, avoiding generic and unverifiable statements. The competition and market authority (Agcm) will supervise and may impose penalties of up to €10 million for breaches.

    Ten risky behaviours have been identified, among them the use of vague terms such as “sustainable” without concrete evidence, climate-neutrality claims based on offsetting, and the use of unverified sustainability labels. Companies may not extend benefits to products or services that concern only part of them, nor present as a merit what is already a regulatory obligation. Future promises must also be supported by concrete plans, and no irrelevant or misleading statements may be made about the durability and repairability of products.

    Asserzioni ambientali bocciate al 98%

    A survey carried out by Integrity Monitor has found that 98% of the environmental claims of the main listed companies in Italy and other European countries show at least one element of concern. The new greenwashing rules, inserted into the Consumer Code, give the competition authority (Agcm) the task of penalising untruthful environmental statements.

    The research highlighted that consumers find it difficult to verify the information underlying those statements, chiefly because accessible documentation is missing. Many communications also turn out to be unclear or ambiguous. This leaves companies facing reputational and compliance challenges, making transparency of the information provided crucial.

    Greenwashing: ecco le 10 cose che un'azienda non deve fare

    Michele Bonsegna's article discusses the recent entry into force of the European greenwashing directive, transposed in Italy by Legislative Decree 30. Published in 2024, the rules aim to counter misleading company practices regarding their environmental statements. A survey has found that many European companies, Italy included, show weaknesses in their green communication. The guide drawn up with the support of the law firm A&O Shearman lists ten behaviours to avoid in order not to incur penalties from the competition authority, which can impose fines of up to €10 million.

    The main rules include the prohibition on generic statements and on asserting climate neutrality without concrete grounds. It is also prohibited to use uncertified sustainability labels and to present legal obligations as distinctive advantages. The final points concern advertising irrelevant benefits, omitting important information, and false statements about product durability. Emilio De Giorgi, a partner at A&O Shearman, stresses that the directive is a significant step in the fight against greenwashing, creating a level playing field for consumers in telling genuine commitment from misleading communication.

    Clima: Integrity Monitor, con nuove norme Ue rischio greenwashing su 98% claim aziende

    An analysis carried out by Integrity Monitor has found that 98% of the environmental statements of companies listed in Italy, France, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom show at least one element of concern, ahead of the new EU rules against greenwashing that come into force on 27 September. Of a total of 2,233 claims examined, only 54 are compliant. The report highlights that companies risk not having adequate documentation to support their environmental statements. The average risk score varies between countries, with similar values in Italy, Germany and Spain (around 53) and slightly higher in the United Kingdom (53.9).

    An analysis carried out by Integrity Monitor has found that 98% of companies' environmental statements could be exposed to greenwashing, with 92% of the 2,233 claims examined showing indicators of potential misleadingness. In 304 cases, no sufficient evidence was found to support the company statements. The report highlights a lack of accessible documentation for verifying corporate communications, together with ambiguous wording and unclear comparisons. With the introduction of the new European rules, even potentially valid statements can prove problematic if they are not adequately supported. This change turns sustainability into a question that involves not only reputation but also compliance and risk management for companies.
