Introduction
​
As you launch the supplier engagement module, your suppliers receive a questionnaire that aims to score their climate strategy according to the Greenly score. It's content thus follows the sections of the Greenly score :

The rest of the article will present you the content of the questionnaire, section by section.
​

The survey sent to your suppliers includes various questions, grouped into categories. Each answer option grants a certain number of points, that are then aggregated into the score for the category. The sum of scores over each category results in a global score on a scale from 0 to 100.

The points are shared between categories as follows :

The scores are then displayed on a scale from A+ to E, according to these levels:

A+ : 100 - 75 points;

A : 75 - 55 points;

B : 55- 30 points;

C : 30 - 5 points;

D : 5 - 0 points;

E: no response to the questionnaire nor public climate strategy.

​

This section covers the topic of the greenhouse gas (GHG) assessments of your supplier: measuring their direct and indirect emissions is the first step of any rigorous climate strategy.
​

This section includes classic questions on the GHG Assessment itself (operational perimeter, methodological perimeter, year, methodology) and fields where your supplier can fill in their emissions values. Additionally, the supplier also gets asked whether it disclosed its footprint and if so, using which tool. This allows you to understand how transparent your supplier is willing to be and to gather further information where it has been disclosed, if necessary.

This section covers the reduction commitments of your suppliers. They can share multiple commitments, by defining for each of them: the reference year, the target year, the total reduction objective, whether the target is in intensity (eg -50% per employee or per product sold) or absolute (-500tCO2e), etc. Finally, we ensure these reduction targets are public: in our experience, reduction targets are rarely followed by action if companies cannot be held accountable for them by the general public.

This section aims to assess whether your supplier put in place actions to reduce its footprint that are consistent with the reduction levels dictated by the Paris Agreements. The questions are divided into subsets that correspond to different emissions sources (eg travel, product purchases, food purchases, etc). The subsets of questions your supplier gets asked depends on your supplier's industry's most relevant emission sources. In case your supplier doesn't recognize itself in the list of available industries, they get asked a list of questions to determine which subsets of questions are relevant to them.

For instance, an actor of the food industry will be mainly asked questions related to its food product purchase and freight services.

Additionally, we ask the supplier whether they started engaging their own suppliers so that the climate strategy progresses through the whole value chain.

This section values the investments your suppliers can take to offset their emissions. We take into account the amount of CO2 reduced or sequestrated by the funded projects and the label that certifies the projects.
​

Although these projects do not help reduce your supplier's emissions, protecting and raising the capacity of carbon sinks worldwide is necessary to reach global Net Zero in 2050.
​

This last section covers your supplier's initiatives for raising employee awareness. This is essential, as part of their emissions depends on their employee's behavior. We will focus on several aspects.
​

​
First, we try to estimate how involved the employees were during the GHG assessment: were the approach and results presented globally?
​
Second, we focus on workshops: did the company set up climate fresks or a similar awareness-raising seminar ?
​
Finally, other initiatives can also be described freely by the company.
