– Supply Chain Diversity & Inclusion Assessment & Benchmark
Comprehensive diversity and inclusion assessment and benchmarking
Suppliers operate in different countries, different sectors and at different stages of maturity.
Understanding diversity and inclusion across a complex supply chain requires more than ownership data or a single benchmark score.
We help organisations assess diversity and inclusion across and within suppliers, providing a comprehensive view of supplier maturity, risks, opportunities and priorities for action.
Our approach can be tailored to your objectives and applied across multiple geographies, recognising that legal and cultural considerations, reporting requirements and available data vary between countries.
Why it matters
No two suppliers are the same.
Some suppliers are at the beginning of their diversity and inclusion journey. Others have well-established approaches and measurable progress.
Without a consistent assessment framework, it can be difficult to understand where suppliers are today, identify leaders, prioritise support and measure progress over time.
Our assessment helps organisations understand supplier maturity across their supply chain and focus attention where it can have the greatest impact.
Whether your priorities are responsible procurement, supplier engagement, ESG objectives, meeting standards, pay equity or broader diversity and inclusion goals, meaningful action starts with understanding where suppliers are today.
What’s Included
Our methodology goes beyond traditional supplier diversity programmes.
We assess diversity and inclusion across and within suppliers, combining ownership data with workforce diversity, leadership representation and inclusion practices.
The assessment can be tailored to organisational priorities and applied across multiple geographies, recognising that legal and cultural considerations, reporting requirements and available data vary between countries.
The result is a more complete understanding of supplier maturity, helping organisations benchmark performance, prioritise engagement and identify opportunities for meaningful progress.
