– B Corp Supplier Diversity & Inclusion Assessment
Supplier diversity and inclusion support for B Corps
We help B Corps understand diversity, equity and inclusion across and within suppliers.
By combining traditional supplier diversity measures with deeper insight into workforce diversity and inclusion practices, we help organisations identify opportunities, support supplier improvement and demonstrate meaningful action across their value chain.
Why it matters for B Corps
The new B Lab standards place greater emphasis on advancing Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) across value chains, including supplier diversity.
For many organisations, supplier diversity is measured primarily through ownership, management and control.
That information is important, but it does not necessarily show whether people within those suppliers are experiencing equitable and inclusive workplaces.
Our assessment helps organisations build a deeper understanding of diversity, equity and inclusion across their supply chain, providing evidence of supplier engagement, identifying opportunities for improvement and supporting action beyond their own workforce.
For B Corps, this creates a practical way to demonstrate progress while extending positive impact to a much wider community of workers.
What’s Included
Our assessment combines traditional supplier diversity data with deeper insight into workforce diversity and inclusion practices.
This helps B Corps understand where suppliers are already demonstrating strong practice, where improvement may be needed and how supplier engagement can be prioritised to create meaningful impact.
