The NHS Evergreen Supplier Assessment is a framework used by the NHS to evaluate the sustainability, resilience, and ethical practices of its suppliers. This assessment covers areas such as environmental impact, social value, and governance.
Using an electronic portal, suppliers are assessed on criteria like carbon reduction, labor standards, and supply chain transparency, they are then graded according to their Level of achievement.
The climate change questions reflect a green house gas inventory based on the WRI Green House Gas Protocol. It therefore requires values for your Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions as a starting point. It asks for responses in terms of your publically stated targets, if they are intensity based or absolute and if these have been made available publically.
Other queries focus on a companies interaction with other entities within the space, such as the CDP, SBTi and if both your inventory and targets are externally verified. In all there are approximately 130 questions directly related to green house gas emissions and Net Zero.
