Case Study: Fortune 500 food & beverage retailer achieves integrated ethical sourcing, stronger governance and faster reporting with Aravo Solutions

How this Fortune 500 company elevated its ethical sourcing program with Aravo

A multinational food & beverage retailer (≈$26.7B revenue) needed to modernize its ethical sourcing program — a strategic initiative tied to its reputation and commitment to human rights — which managed assessments for roughly 1,000 third‑party facilities across Asia, EU, LatAm and North America. The existing, siloed system lacked end‑to‑end oversight, scalable technology, integrations or robust reporting, forcing manual, time‑consuming processes for audits, corrective action tracking and monthly reporting and preventing alignment with the company’s broader enterprise supplier risk management vision.

The company selected Aravo TPM Standard plus Create services to deliver a single source of truth, configurable workflows (sourcing, auditing, CAPs, segmentation, rating and monitoring), offline/online audit support, attachments, SSO and PEGA integrations, and multilingual views for external auditors. The deployment automated workflows and reporting, improved user experience and data quality, delivered significant time savings, and brought the ethical sourcing program into a federated supplier risk framework — advancing the customer’s enterprise supplier lifecycle vision while strengthening governance and decision‑making to better protect people and the environment.
