Supplier screening methodologies

Hi everyone, I work for Epicurean Dairy, more commonly known as The Collective yoghurt in Aotearoa. We recently became a B Corp, it’s so great to be part of the community.

I am reviewing our ESG supplier screening process and would like to get an idea on how other do this in NZ and Australia. We are food manufacturer, so our ESG supplier screening is grouped with our quality screening of suppliers that provide us raw materials.

  • I’m keen to hear from other manufacturers if this is how it’s commonly done across the industry, or if you separate ESG screening from other supplier screening and if this is effective or not.
  • Does anyone use online forms such as microsoft forms to streamline the process and reduce paperwork? What tools do you recommend?

Thanks so much!

Hey Angela, welcome and congrats on certifying. I’m not based in NZ nor do I work in the food manufacturing space but we do have a supplier screening typeform survey which might be helpful. If you would like me to share it with you, please email me: alison@quiip.com.au

Hi Angela, jumping in late here, sorry! In addition to custom tools & surveys, it might be worth taking a look at the various SaaS tools available. You can find an overview of some of these here: The Top 6 Best Food & Beverage Supplier Management Software Solutions and there is also Passionfruit [https://www.passionfruit.earth], a new tool that specifically focuses on the food & beverage sector. Hope that helps! Cheers Andrea
