Impact Assessment involves calculating the impact an organization has on its stakeholders and the environment. The tool covers the 3 pillars of sustainability divided into 6 sections which include assessment of Environmental, Social, and Governance issues picking up Inclusion, Diversity, and Equality implications within that.
Although countries are mandating impact reporting, the methodology for reporting itself is not set in stone and differs vastly depending on the framework used for the assessments. Very few professionals recognize that the procurement function is the best place to conduct such assessments given it has 70% of the data required for a baseline preliminary assessment which is accessible through procurement data.
This webinar will focus on what is an Impact Assessment? How to go about conducting one? and why is this an excellent opportunity for the Procurement profession to increase its role and strategic importance in the organization?
This session is an opportunity for the sustainability, procurement, sustainable supply chain professionals along with organizations starting their journey in the world of sustainability assessments and impact mapping, sign up for the webinar here to learn more.
