Procurement & supply chain

Most of the footprint, and most of the risk, sits with what you buy and where it comes from. Sustained attributes both to the supplier, on the product data your company already holds.

Your suppliers’ real numbers

Get started

A narrated film with captions. Most of a footprint sits in what you buy, and most of that runs on averages. Every raw material shows where it stands with its supplier, and what needs you next. Ask item by item, straight from the list. Your supplier answers in Sustained or on a free form, no account needed, and each answer comes back to the row it belongs to. Before you use an answer, see what it changes and whether it counts in reported footprints. Then the supplier’s figure replaces the average. When they republish, the update waits until you apply it.

The questions you arrive with

Three questions a supplier review should be able to answer.

“Which suppliers carry our impact, and how concentrated is it?”

Impact attributed to every supplier on each report line. With Risk & Analytics: concentration measured, largest suppliers ranked, a scorecard per supplier with its products, and where the impact concentrates by raw material, supplier, country and process. At workspace and company scope.

“Where are we single-sourced from somewhere exposed?”

Single-source lines crossed with eight climate hazards, and a supplier-by-hazard matrix over every supplier's sourcing locations. Revenue at risk for flood, heat and cyclone.

“How do I get real data from suppliers instead of proxies?”

Ask suppliers item by item about what you buy, from your raw materials or an imported purchasing list, through the Impact Registry. They answer under their own consent; you use what they send, or bind a purchased good to it, and the proxy is replaced. To ask about the company itself, its targets, emissions and energy, send a questionnaire each year and agree actions with the supplier.

Your view in the product

The Procurement lens: attribution, concentration, and your origins on a map with the suppliers behind each.

A dashboard built around the supplier, not the product. The same figures roll to company scope so the group procurement director and the category buyer read one dataset.

  • Impact attributed to suppliers, with concentration and a resilience signal, beside where the PEF impact concentrates
  • Origin exposure and single-source lines, crossed with hazard
  • Supplier-by-hazard exposure matrix, ordered by weighted mean
  • Which suppliers share through the Registry, and what each raw material is waiting on
  • Supplier questionnaires and actions, with a supplier review workbook per supplier and period
