Track responses

Track how your suppliers engage

This is where you can track your request and see how your suppliers and portfolio companies engage.

💡
This isn’t about expecting every company to provide comprehensive emissions data overnight. However, understanding who engages and who doesn’t is valuable data.

Use this data to inform your ongoing engagement strategy and projects that may offer the biggest bang for carbon buck. Consider engaging strategically with key suppliers and portfolio companies who don’t respond to understand their strategies and emission reduction plans. Learn from companies taking voluntary action, and create case studies to spotlight and celebrate their achievements, adding value to your relationships.

If you're serious about updating procurement policies to include emissions reporting and reduction progress, this initial request and offer of support can help pave the way forward in an inclusive way. Small sustainability teams have limited resources, so understanding where suppliers stand helps prioritise next steps. It can be interesting to report on:

  • Who ignored the request
  • Who has started GHG accounting
  • Who can provide the information you want to see
  • What barriers suppliers face in emission reduction
