How ESG can give your business the edge

Clear ESG policies, carbon data and social value narratives directly influence tender scores and pass/fail stages, and are increasingly a pre‑condition to compete rather than a 'nice‑to‑have'.

KPMG’s procurement research found two‑thirds of procurement leaders expect ESG to strongly shape sourcing decisions and supplier selection.

Around 90% of FTSE 100 companies require ESG transparency from suppliers and will only work with suppliers that share their ESG credentials.

A Lloyds Bank survey found 77% of UK SME's are already receiving ESG-related requirements from their customers.

Central government must apply the Social Value Model with a minimum 10% weighting for social value/ESG in all qualifying tenders.
