ESG-screened supplier list public
Assesses whether the organization maintains a supplier register screened against environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria and publicly discloses a list of key/strategic suppliers (or an aggregated view for sensitive contexts). It evaluates the commitment to an ethical supply chain while managing security, commercial confidentiality, and GDPR compliance through a 'maximum transparency, minimum necessary data' approach.
Assessment Questions
- Does the organization have a documented policy defining minimum ESG criteria (E, S, G) and risk scoring for suppliers?
- What criteria determine which suppliers are named publicly vs aggregated/redacted, and who approves these exceptions?
- What percentage of the supply chain (by spend and high-risk category) is covered by the ESG screening process?
- How are conflicts of interest and 'connected persons' managed in supplier selection and disclosed?
- What grievance mechanism exists for workers/communities to report supply chain harms, and how is it publicised?
Evidence Requirements
- Official Supplier Code of Conduct and ESG Policy document with defined minimum criteria.
- Public supplier register export/screenshot showing fields and 'last updated' stamp.
- Redaction/exception log approved by senior owner/board committee.
- Internal reports showing % of spend screened and % of high-risk suppliers screened.
- Sample contract clauses (audit rights, code of conduct acceptance, remediation).
Scoring Guidelines
| Level | Rating | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | 5/5 | ≥95% spend/high-risk screened; public register with ratings & remediation status; independent assurance for top suppliers; continuous improvement targets. |
| 4 | 4/5 | ≥80% spend OR 100% high-risk screened; public list of key suppliers (e.g., top 20 or strategic); updated annually; clear redaction policy. |
| 3 | 3/5 | ≥50% spend screened; internal register exists; annual re-screen of high-risk suppliers; limited public disclosure. |
| 2 | 2/5 | Internal-only list; ad-hoc screening without standardized criteria or risk-weighting. |
| 1 | 1/5 | No ESG-screened supplier list or systematic screening process. |
