Validate due diligence completeness

Before the reporting deadline you have to be able to show that your due diligence documentation for the current reporting period is complete. The “Validate completeness” dialog in preeco | nachhaltigkeit runs exactly that check and shows you, line by line, what is still missing.

Prerequisites

• The reporting period you want to check is selected as the current reporting period for your organisation. The check always refers to that period.
• Your due diligence documentation already exists — that is, there are due diligence processes (DD Processes), risk records and, where needed, remediation measures.

Open the check

1. Open “Workers in the value chain → Due Diligence Documentation”.
2. In the “DD Processes” section, click “Actions → Validate completeness”. The “Validate completeness” dialog opens on the right.
3. Start with the “Summary” section. It shows the results in the form Blocking: <x> of 3 passed and Advisory: <x> of 4 passed.
4. Then work through the result lines of the individual checks. Each check displays a plain-text line, for example “No active DD process exists for the current reporting period.” or “All high/critical severity risks have at least one remediation record.”

Blocking checks — all three must pass

• “At least one active DD process exists for this reporting period” — at least one process is active in the reporting period.
• “Risk Identification Process is documented as Active” — a process of type Risk Identification Process is active.
• “High/critical severity risks have linked remediation records” — all risks with severity High or Critical have at least one remediation measure.

Advisory checks — pointers to gaps

• “Sub-topic coverage” — how many of the 9 S2 sub-topics have at least one risk record.
• “All CSDDD-required process types have an Active process” — active processes for all CSDDD mandatory types: Risk Identification, Prevention and Mitigation, Remediation and Monitoring and Effectiveness.
• “All active effectiveness metrics have a measurement in the current period” — every active metric has a current measurement.
• “Linked supplier assessment ratio” — the proportion of active processes with linked supplier assessments.

Close the remaining gaps

If a blocking check fails, close the gap in the relevant area: activate an existing process via “Actions → Activate”, create the missing process type, or record a remediation measure for a risk with severity High or Critical. Then run the check again until the summary reports Blocking: 3 of 3 passed.

Practical tip: perform the check early and regularly — not just shortly before the reporting deadline. The blocking checks show exactly which processes you still need to activate or link with remediation measures before the reporting period can be completed.
