A company’s sustainability performance is not determined solely by its own operations. The environmental and social performance of suppliers involved in raw materials, procurement, production and logistics can also affect the organization’s overall sustainability risk. A lack of sufficient data on suppliers’ performance in these areas makes it difficult to identify and manage risks in a timely manner.

At QINAC Global, we carry out work to assess suppliers against sustainability criteria and to identify areas of risk and development. We do not treat supplier assessment merely as a scoring process; where needed, we create development plans to help advance suppliers’ sustainability maturity.
