Collect signifcant supplier sustainability credentials
Gather information about the environmental and ethical practices of your setting's significant suppliers and partners. For example, you might consider asking your significant suppliers for information on their sourcing methods, social responsibilities such as fair labour and community engagement, environmental management systems they use, and if they have any sustainability credentials such as ISO 14001, B Corp, or similar.
This is important because understanding these credentials helps ensure that the products you use are made and sourced responsibly, which will reduce your setting's carbon footprint and impact on the environment.
To ensure that this process feels collaborative, and develops into a strong working relationship, it’s best to announce your intentions before requesting this information.
By taking this action, your setting can then determine which of your significant suppliers may not want to engage with you on your sustainability journey, and transition to more sustainable suppliers.
