Organizations should footnote the type of factors considered when evaluating supplier organizations. See usage guidance for further information.
This metric is intended to capture the organization’s policy on screening suppliers for social and environmental criteria. Criteria screened could include specific negative practices (e.g., no child labor, no negative environmental impacts) or positive practices (e.g., environmentally friendly manufacturing processes, excellent labor practices). Organizations should footnote which factors are considered.
Many organizations may only screen significant supplier organizations or may screen less significant suppliers to a lesser extent. Organizations are encouraged to footnote how their screening policies differ between types of suppliers.
Organizations are encouraged to report this metric in conjunction with Supplier Screening Ratio (PI3016).
Metrics identified as "cross-category" are those that are relevant to any IRIS+ Impact Category or Impact Theme (i.e., these metrics are not specific to any particular industry/category or theme).
