Tools: Supplier Assessment Framework
How can our tools help you?
A lack of granular understanding of location and supplier specific risks will have negative impacts on the planet and companies risk liabilities and reputational damage. To meet this requirement TOS has developed a supplier assessment framework to quantify both country by country ESG risks and suppliers’ ability to manage high prevalence ESG risk.
The risk of the location and supplier are then summarised in a table. This serves as an easy way to decipher material topics that pose a high risk. Preference is given to supplier performance because in some scenarios the supplier might perform well and reduce the risk identified at a national level.
