Supplier Engagement

Creating a More Sustainable and Resilient Supply Chain 

Supplier engagement plays an essential role in addressing Scope 3 emissions and achieving climate targets. Collecting GHG inventory data from suppliers can be a daunting task for any company. Software solutions offer some relief; however, strategy, communication, education, and procurement engagement are also critical for success. A best practice for tackling supplier engagement is collaborating with competitors, as shared value chains are common in most sectors. Companies will achieve considerable progress if they can define a win-win relationship with their competitors and suppliers, provide methodologies and support, certify data quality, and highlight benefits to the bottom line. 

Supplier Engagement Assessment (Stage 1)

This foundational assessment establishes a baseline and identifies areas needing improvement while also educating suppliers about the sponsor’s commitment to sustainability. By setting clear expectations and providing support for sustainable transitions, the sponsor can begin fostering collaborative relationships aimed at achieving mutual sustainability objectives. This first step is crucial for building a resilient, ethical, and sustainable supply chain, and paves the way for a strategic action plan for a supplier engagement program.
