The Challenge

Imagine you're a contract caterer with numerous corporate clients. You have to demonstrate sustainability in pitches and answer frequent questions on sustainability, but consistency is a challenge, especially in the supply chain. You are passionate about supporting smaller local suppliers, but that means you have a very long tail of suppliers. Your team asks suppliers about ESG via different channels (over email/on the phone) and gets different answers. You need a single point of truth.

The Solution

By streamlining supplier engagement through the Tried & Supplied platform, you are able to create a single point of truth for all your ESG claims and eliminate the discrepancies that previously undermined your confidence in making claims. Tried & Supplied also fills in some of your knowledge gaps to give you a more complete dataset that can support a wider variety of claims and answer a greater number of customer questions.

The Result

You are now confident in communicating your sustainability to customers and can see this reflected in an uplift in sales and increased customer satisfaction. ESG can now be incorporated into supplier tenders and performance reviews and it becomes much faster to onboard new suppliers while ensuring compliance with your company ESG policies.
