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.
