– Supplier Pay Equity Assessment
Many organisations have invested significant time and resources into understanding and improving their own pay equity.
But customers, employees, investors and other stakeholders are increasingly looking beyond the organisation itself.
As pay gap reporting becomes more visible and expectations continue to evolve, organisations are taking a closer look at whether suppliers reflect the standards and values they expect of themselves.
We help organisations understand not only where pay gaps exist across their supply chains, but also the diversity and inclusion practices that may be driving them. The result is a more complete picture of supplier maturity, risk and opportunities for action.
Why pay equity matters now
Gender pay gap reporting is already public in the UK, and mandatory action plans are expected to be introduced from 2027.
Mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting are also expected to be introduced in the coming years.
As transparency increases, organisations have greater visibility into how suppliers are performing and whether meaningful action is being taken.
For organisations with commitments to diversity and inclusion, responsible procurement or ESG goals, supplier pay equity is becoming an increasingly important area of focus.
What’s Included
By combining publicly available data with direct supplier engagement, we build a more complete picture of pay equity, workforce diversity and inclusion practices across your supply chain.
This helps identify which suppliers may require support, where opportunities exist for improvement and how supplier engagement efforts can have the greatest impact.
Assessment Areas:
- Public gender pay gap data analysis
- Disability and ethnicity pay gap assessment
- Supplier surveys and direct insight gathering
- Assessment of workforce diversity, inclusion practices and pay gap action plans
- Analysis of the underlying drivers of inequality
- Identification of key risks and opportunities
- Supplier-level recommendations
- Organisation-level action planning
- Prioritisation of supplier engagement opportunities
Where data is publicly available, we analyse reported outcomes.
Where data is unavailable, we work directly with suppliers to gather comparable information and build a more complete picture.
We can support assessments across multiple geographies, recognising that reporting requirements and available data vary significantly between countries.
Who It’s For
Designed for organisations that want to understand whether suppliers are keeping pace with their own commitments and expectations around pay equity and inclusion.
Particularly relevant for organisations with public diversity and inclusion commitments, responsible procurement objectives, ESG goals or increasing stakeholder scrutiny.
