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.
| Metric | ESG Supplier Screening Coverage & Disclosure |
|---|---|
| Target | >80% spend screened; Annual update |
| Frequency | Annual |
| Method | Calculate % of total spend screened + % of high-risk suppliers screened; Verify public list update date. |
| Unit | Percentage / Date |
Level 1: Initial/Ad-hoc
No ESG screening process for suppliers exists.
Level 2: Developing
An informal, ad-hoc process for screening some suppliers exists, but lacks standardized criteria, risk-weighting, or documentation.
Level 3: Established
A formal policy screens >50% of spend. The list is maintained internally with annual re-screening for high-risk suppliers.
Level 4: Advanced
Screening covers >80% of spend or 100% of high-risk suppliers. A list of key/strategic suppliers is publicly disclosed (redacted where justified) and updated annually.
Level 5: Optimizing
Comprehensive screening (>95% spend) with third-party verification for high-risk entities. A dynamic, publicly accessible register details performance/ratings and drives supply chain collaboration.
Organisation Types
By Organisation Size
| Size | Applicability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Micro | exempt | No significant procurement budget; formal ESG screening and public supplier lists are entirely disproportionate. |
| Small | exempt | Minimal spend; formal procurement processes, contract clauses, and public registers are disproportionate. |
| Medium | optional | May implement basic supplier checks, but public registers and strict ESG contract clauses are a nice-to-have at this scale. |
| Large | partial | Expected to have formal procurement and ESG screening, but a fully public register and strict spend coverage metrics can be scaled down. |
| Major | full | Applies fully; major charities have significant supply chains requiring formal ESG screening, contract clauses, and public transparency. |
Applicable When
- The organization has a supply chain
- The organization publicly promotes its values (e.g. environmental or social justice)
- The organization is of sufficient size to require a formal supply chain management process
Not Applicable When
