SPLC NAVIGATOR Development Approach
The resulting criteria is organized across five measured pillars - Strategic Integration, Product Sustainability, Supplier Sustainability, Make it Matter (i.e. Supplier Accountability), and External Leadership. Key performance indicators (KPIs) within each pillar are self-assessed relevant to that organization's prioritized sustainability impacts and spend, in order to obtain an overall sustainable procurement score. This score can then be compared to peers within the same type of organization (e.g. corporate, government, educational institution) to understand performance to the criteria and similar organizations.
The SP Assessment Working Group leads prioritization and selection of all evaluation criteria and related approaches, with oversight from SPLC's CEO, Technical Advisory Committee, and Board of Directors as described below.
