ASSENT Assent works to ensure that companies are working the supply chain in accordance with sustainability standards . At its core it is a risk mitigation firm , but recently it has paid extra attention to matters surrounding ESG , having recognized that global supply chains are increasingly being viewed through the lens of environmental and social risks .
