🔍 What Are Supplier Scorecards?
Supplier scorecards are tools used by larger organisations to evaluate their suppliers' performance based on various criteria, including sustainability practices. These scorecards assess how well suppliers align with the sustainability goals of the purchasing organisation, covering aspects such as carbon emissions, waste management, resource efficiency, and social responsibility.
📈 Why Do They Matter?
Meeting sustainability criteria on scorecards and in tender requirements enhances your credibility and reputation while positioning you as a preferred supplier for companies committed to sustainability. Failing to meet these standards can lead to lost contracts and missed opportunities.
