Supplier Individuals: Total (PI5350)

This metric is intended to capture how organizations support livelihoods through their supply chains. Organizations wishing to report on supplier organizations should instead use Supplier Organizations: Total (PI9566) and its associated submetrics.

This metric may help describe the HOW MUCH Scale dimension, which helps estimate the number of the targeted stakeholders experiencing the outcome. For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see IRIS+ and the Five Dimensions of Impact (https://iris.thegiin.org/document/iris-and-the-five-dimensions/). No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. When possible, the selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.
