New suppliers screened using environmental criteria
Measurement answer
What this metric measures
Source-reported percentage of the declared new-supplier cohort that was subject to a documented environmental-criteria screening process, with the cohort, criteria and period retained.
Specification
Metric specification
- Result format
- Structured table
- Unit
- New suppliers screened using environmental criteria (%)
- Reporting basis
- Reporting period or measurement date declared by the source method
- Aggregation
- Do not sum or arithmetically average reported percentages, rates, ratios, or averages; consolidate only from compatible component observations under a disclosed method.
- Pillar
- Environmental
- Topic
- Supplier environmental assessment
- Controlled domain
- Supply chain and value chain
- Entity type
- Metric
Reporting boundary
Source-reported percentage only. Do not add or average percentages. Sum counts only for disjoint cohorts under one definition. Do not infer a complement as unscreened when unknown, pending or excluded suppliers are not typed.

P = (N ÷ D) × 100Use the source-defined numerator and denominator for the same population, period, boundary, and method; do not infer an unstated denominator.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: GRI 308: Supplier Environmental Assessment 2016 — 2016 edition. Retain the exact source edition on every observation; later editions require a separate method profile.
- Environmental criteria set.
- Formal or documented screening process.
- New- supplier event.
- Selected, contracted or other declared relationship stage.
- Supplier type and tier.
- Direct or indirect.
- Location when reported.
- Numerator and denominator availability.
- Retain the exact measurement-source edition with every observation.
- A source-reported percentage using the declared screened-new-supplier numerator and compatible new-supplier cohort denominator.
Record-specific limitations
- Screening coverage does not measure criteria quality, assessment depth, audit coverage, compliance, identified impact, prevention or environmental performance.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
