About Sustainability-related Supplier Analysis Focus Purpose Analytical Questions Benefit General Method When to Use Data Source Examples From whom are we buying? Identify whether the overall make-up of the organization s supply base reflects its values, and whether individual suppliers present significant environmental, social, and economic performance risks. Do we have the right mix of small, medium, and diverse suppliers? Are our biggest dollar suppliers sustainability leaders or laggards in their categories? Do any of our suppliers present an out-sized sustainability risk for us? Enables Strategy Planning to focus on aspects of the organization s supplier selection processes that present the greatest opportunity to improve the supply base s overall performance.
