This approach has shaped a culture that encourages collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement. Across our global teams, this translates into a shared mission: not only helping organisations understand supplier risk, but also working with suppliers to address gaps, improve standards, and build stronger, more resilient supply chains.<\/h3>\n \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/article>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div class=\"content_section page_default_text\">\r\n        <div class=\"container\">\r\n            <article class=\"article_wrap\">\r\n                <div class=\"article_main\">\r\n                    <div class=\"typical_text\">\r\n                        <h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Our heritage \u2013 our history has shaped who we are.<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"2028\">Achilles was established in Norway in 1990, and our origins continue to influence how we operate today. Rooted in the values of Scandinavian society, our approach is shaped by Janteloven \u2014 the idea that the needs of the collective outweigh those of the individual. This principle sits at the heart of the Achilles model: collaborative, transparent, and designed for shared value creation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2030\" data-end=\"2466\">Originally created to help Norway\u2019s offshore oil and gas industry meet health and safety requirements more efficiently, Achilles introduced a network-based model that enabled buyers and suppliers to work from a shared set of standards and assessments. This reduced duplication, improved consistency of supplier data, and created a more reliable foundation not only for decision-making, but also for supplier development and improvement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2468\" data-end=\"2991\">Today, that same principle underpins a global platform. From 23 locations worldwide, we support organisations across industries with supplier risk, compliance, and performance management solutions that improve visibility, reduce operational friction, and strengthen resilience. Whether through shared buyer networks or tailored enterprise programmes, we help organisations improve supplier assurance, support supplier development, meet regulatory expectations, and make better-informed decisions across their supply chains.<\/p>\n \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/article>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div

into a single global platform.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"3257\" data-end=\"3990\">GoSupply, founded in 2017, brought expertise in supplier qualification and configurable risk workflows, strengthening Achilles\u2019 ability to support tailored compliance programmes that also enable supplier improvement and corrective action tracking at scale.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3257\" data-end=\"3990\">GRMS, based in Irvine, California, added deep experience in supplier risk management across North America, supporting organisations in managing exposure to operational, financial, and compliance risk, while also improving supplier engagement processes.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3257\" data-end=\"3990\">InfoControl strengthened Achilles\u2019 technology capability in data automation and analytics, enhancing our ability to process supplier information, identify risk signals earlier, and support targeted improvement activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"3992\"

By standardising supplier qualification and assessment at an industry level, we create a system where supplier data is continuously validated, reused, and improved over time \u2014 and where suppliers are supported to raise standards, close gaps, and strengthen performance.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5682\" data-end=\"6030\">Buyers reduce duplication in supplier due diligence, while suppliers benefit from a single set of assessments that can be shared across multiple customers, along with clear feedback and improvement pathways. This improves efficiency, but more importantly, it improves the quality, consistency, and comparability of supplier data across the network.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6032\" data-end=\"6398\">As participation grows, the network becomes more powerful: increasing data depth, improving risk visibility, and strengthening the ability to identify issues earlier. Importantly, it also creates a structured mechanism for supplier improvement \u2014 helping organisations not only identify risk, but actively reduce it at source through engagement and corrective action.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6400\" data-end=\"6709\">For organisations that require a higher degree of customisation, Achilles also provides private enterprise networks. These combine the benefits of the global Achilles ecosystem with tailored risk criteria, bespoke assessments, and exclusive visibility where required.<\/p>\n \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>\r\n            <\/article>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div class=\"content_section page_default_text\">\r\n        <div class=\"container\">\r\n            <article class=\"article_wrap\">\r\n                <div class=\"article_main\">\r\n                    <div class=\"typical_text\">\r\n                        <h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The Achilles purpose and culture<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-start=\"6753\" data-end=\"6855\">Our purpose and culture guide how we operate and how we support our customers and suppliers every day.<\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"1uj4gfz\" data-start=\"6857\" data-end=\"6899\">The Achilles purpose \u2013 why we are here<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"6901\" data-end=\"7264\">Achilles exists to help organisations manage supplier and third-party risk with confidence, while also enabling suppliers to improve their performance over time.
