For the complete list of questions, you can read this document. Each question is associated to a comment explaining the rationale behind it.
📊 How will you be scored as a supplier ?
The survey you received 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 :
Carbon accounting - 40 points
Action Plans - 36 points
Commitments - 4 points
Carbon contribution - 10 points
Employee involvement - 10 points
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.
📖 The content of the questionnaire
Carbon accounting
This section covers the topic of your greenhouse gas (GHG) assessments : measuring your 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 you can fill in your emissions values. Additionally, you will also gets asked whether you disclosed your footprint and if so, using which tool.
Commitments
This section covers your reduction commitments. Here you 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. We also 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.
Actions plans
This section aims to assess whether you put in place actions to reduce your 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 you get asked depends on your industry's most relevant emission sources. In case your don't recognize yourself in the list of available industries, you will get asked a list of questions to determine which subsets of questions are relevant to you.
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 you whether you started engaging your own suppliers so that the climate strategy progresses through the whole value chain.
Carbon contribution
This section values the investments you can take to offset your 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 you reduce your emissions, protecting and raising the capacity of carbon sinks worldwide is necessary to reach global Net Zero in 2050.
Raising awareness among employees
This last section covers your initiatives for raising employee awareness. This is essential, as a part of your emissions depends on your 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 you set up climate fresks or a similar awareness-raising seminar ?
Finally, you can describe freely other initiatives
