Worked example
What it makes
13 questions across 6 areas. Each answer scores 0 to 3; an area's score is its points as a share of the most it could get.
Policy and management
- There's a written sustainability or environmental policy, approved by leadership.
- Someone is responsible for sustainability, with time to work on it.
Energy and emissions
- You measure your energy use and the emissions from it.
- You have targets to reduce emissions, with actions and dates.
Waste and resources
- Waste is tracked and there are actions to reduce, reuse and recycle.
- Materials and packaging are chosen with environmental impact in mind.
Labour and human rights
- Workers have written terms and are paid at least the legal minimum, on time.
- There are health and safety procedures, training and incident records.
- Workers can raise concerns safely, without fear of retaliation.
Ethics and governance
- There's a written policy against bribery and corruption, and staff know it.
- Customer and employee data are protected by clear rules.
Your own suppliers
- You ask your own key suppliers about their environmental and social practice.
- You'd act if a supplier was found to have serious problems.

Questions
About the Supplier Sustainability Self-Assessment
Can buyers use it to assess their suppliers?
Yes, as a first step: send the link and ask each supplier to share the saved Room. Treat the answers as self-reported and ask for evidence where it matters.
Is this an audit or a certification?
No. It scores your own answers against a written rubric to show where you stand and what to do next. Use it to start a conversation, not as an audit, certification or professional advice.
