Measurement and follow-up of supplier sustainability performance

By Ann-Christin Pålsson

Measurement & follow-up of the sustainability performance of suppliers and upstream supply chain should be performed based on the expectations and requirements put on suppliers and supply chain.

This can be done in different ways, for example:

• observations at the production sites, through e.g. audits or other visits
• collection of data, through e.g. questionnaires and other surveys
