Environmental Assessment

ESCP has developed an Environmental Assessment for suppliers in any industry, to give Buyers greater oversight into the environmental impact and practices of their Suppliers. The Assessment covers a broad range of environmental areas and can be used as a stand-alone program or integrated into a Buyer's existing Environmental initiative.

Assessing the environmental health of your supply chain can seem like an overwhelming task; The Ethical Supply Chain Program (ESCP) launched its Environmental Assessment module in 2022 to help organisations of all sizes kickstart their ESG reporting journey. ESCP's new tool enables companies to understand the environmental impact of their global supply chain.  By collecting a range of metrics, you can identify meaningful trends and track progress towards the achievement of your company’s commitments and targets. The Assessment covers 12 key environmental areas including Water & Energy Usage, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and Hazardous & Non-Hazardous Waste levels. The Assessment process also enables suppliers to share relevant permits and other important documents related to their licence to operate.  The Assessment was developed with the support of a dedicated group of responsible sourcing experts including major retailers and vendors.  Reducing duplication of effort, improving the quality of reporting and is made accessible to all at just US$350.  

Our Environmental Assessment, which has been developed with the support of a dedicated group of responsible sourcing experts, aims to maximize your resources available, and enable important Environmental metrics to become part of your supply chain operations, monitoring & reporting – cost effectively and efficiently
