This document is a guide detailing the Sustainable Supplier Program aimed at enhancing the environmental and social performance of suppliers within the supply chain. The program utilizes the Ecovadis scoring metric to evaluate suppliers' sustainability performance. Suppliers may also submit scores from other third-party sustainability platforms for evaluation. The scoring metric encompasses four key areas: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The implementation steps include targeting top suppliers by spend for registration, scoring and evaluation based on performance, encouraging continuous improvement through action plans, and requiring regular reporting on sustainability performance. The initiative timeline outlines the evaluation of current suppliers and plans for future registrations. The document also discusses the benefits of participation, including enhanced reputation, competitive advantage, and risk mitigation. Overall, the program aims to foster a more sustainable supply chain, benefiting both the business and the community.
