Where to focus next
- 159 suppliers have not responded — 41 of them sit in the top emissions quartile. Prioritise a second request wave.
- Only 38% of responding suppliers have science-based targets; peer median is 44%.
- Tier 2 coverage is the weakest link at 53%. Extending the request via tier 1 partners would add ~9% spend coverage.
- Six suppliers operate in water-stressed basins without a water reduction target.
