Our sourcing managers are able to access that information and it really allows them to evaluate a supplier across all aspects of the ESG spectrum . We ' re comparing suppliers on the front end who have the values that match those of our company ,” says Wilkerson .
“ There ' s a series of questions that are embedded within the RFPs , allowing us to ask questions and get a good feel for what suppliers deem important or how they ' re performing . Going back to the selfassessment questionnaires through that third-party service actually then allows us to calculate a score for suppliers that offers us insights . We get an extensive report on each supplier that allows us to determine areas to focus on and it becomes a long-term partnership with them .”
The company also expects these partners to improve their scores as time goes on .
