What a rating looks like
The first performance-based rating for oleochemical and ingredient manufacturers
Compared your environmental and social risk performance to your competitors based on the mills and plots you both source from. Ratings are applied to EUDR, NDPE/DCF, Nature. and Social topics and updated every month.
Ratings are visible only to subscribers
The problem
Derivative manufacturers have high risk exposure but little leverage over larger suppliers
Manufacturers often buy small quantities. This gives the buyer little purchasing power to request assurance.
Palm kernel supply chains are large and complex. This makes prioritizing and mitigating risks challenging.
Customers want evidence. Manufacturers supply consumer goods manufacturers who risk reputational harm.
Questionnaires reveal little. Expensive consultants submit lengthy questionnaires to your suppliers but evaluate their policies, not their actual performance.
The solution
Ratings give you leverage
Supplier Ratings
Your suppliers scored and ranked against comparable refiners every month, on evidence you can point to in a negotiation rather than on their own disclosure.
