Supplier Sustainability Self-Assessment:The Solution to Customer Requests (Enterprise Level)
The automotive industry supply chain is an integral part of our business process, with numerous upstream suppliers and downstream customers. It is important companies are able to evaluate business practices throughout the supply chain both efficiently and accurately in order to ensure timely adherence to globally embraced principles.
Companies are often faced with multiple customer requests for sustainability data and profiles. These requests cover largely the same topics, but many ask the same questions in different ways, resulting in valuable time wasted responding.
Honest and transparent self-assessment is an important first step toward ensuring a responsible supply chain. To that end, AIAG member companies have collaboratively developed the Supplier Sustainability Self-Assessment, a standardized tool for gap analysis and process improvement. It provides a single, simple method by which suppliers can report on their sustainability activities, with a single, clear response then delivered to multiple customers.
This Sustainability Self-Assessment is an excel-based tool available on our website that addresses the typical range of CR program elements companies have implemented, are launching, or are considering. It was created by a team of automotive and sustainability professionals and is based on a combination of industry experience and multi-stakeholder engagement.
