Making progress on supply chain sustainability is a challenge that cuts across topics, organizations, and locations. BSR has launched an e-learning tool in collaboration with the UN Global Compact and Maplecroft to help companies take stock of and improve their approach to supply chain sustainability. The UN Global Compact Quick Self-Assessment and Learning Tool helps procurement, sourcing, and other managers quickly and anonymously gauge their company's supply chain sustainability strategy against a set of criteria, such as the existence of clear and established codes of conduct for the company and suppliers, internal roles and responsibilities, and sustainability goals. The tool will:
- Diagnose current gaps in approaches compared to the criteria and to peer companies (of a related size or in a related sector or region).
- Link to other tools, resources, and specific examples of other companies' supply chain sustainability practices.
- Identify areas for improvement, such as methods for engaging with suppliers and for setting internal roles and responsibilities.
