Schuh's partnership with Segura aims to ensure its footwear supply chain suppliers are ethical, sustainable, efficient, and compliant.

Schuh's adoption of Segura's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution is said to enable the company to extend its supply chain mapping, automate its collection of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) data, and maintain a vigilant watch over its suppliers' performance, as well as the materials and components used in its products.

Schuh's core objectives revolve around attaining comprehensive visibility into its supply chain operations and conducting in-depth assessments of its product's environmental impact.

Segura is described as being the only solution on the market to allow companies to continuously map and monitor a multi-tiered supply chain.

It hopes to help Schuh to deliver its targets as well as monitor the performance of its suppliers, materials and product components throughout its supply chain.

Segura aims to help companies navigate the complexities of today's global supply networks while upholding stringent ethical and environmental standards.

Schuh's assistant QC manager Davie Leggat explains: “Supply chains have become more dispersed and global, and in turn, so have data capture and reporting. Segura will provide us with access to real-time, accurate information. Segura’s ability to capture and enable us to monitor our emissions and ESG standards is vitally important to our business and goals.”

Central to Segura's service is its supply chain mapping and visualisation technology, which is said to be tailored towards retailers and brands. Its technology creates a chain of custody by order, systematically capturing compliance information and contributing to transparent practices across the entire supply chain.

Patrick Wall, CEO of Segura is keen to highlight the potential of the collaboration. He says: “Segura’s real-time and continuous due diligence throughout the up and downstream supply chain can help our customers to achieve specific ROIs. Our aim is to help brands positively impact people and the planet, interrogating supply chains gives us a real opportunity to help businesses achieve key sustainability and governance targets”.
