FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is supplier engagement and why does it matter?
Supplier engagement is the critical process of collaborating with your supply chain partners to improve sustainability performance, manage risks, and drive innovation. Effective engagement helps businesses gain deeper transparency, reduce environmental and social impacts, and meet increasing regulatory and stakeholder demands.
Why should supplier engagement be a strategic priority?
With supply chains contributing significantly to corporate carbon footprints and reputational risk, proactive engagement transforms suppliers into sustainability partners. This builds resilience, uncovers innovation opportunities, and strengthens compliance with evolving global regulations.
What are the key components of a successful supplier engagement programme?
A robust programme includes clear risk mapping to prioritise high-impact suppliers, capacity-building workshops addressing specific sustainability themes, integrated technology solutions for data management and reporting, and ongoing advisory support. By continuously measuring outcomes and incorporating feedback, Nexio Projects helps maintain momentum and adapt strategies to evolving challenges and opportunities.
How do you measure and demonstrate the impact of supplier engagement?
We establish key performance indicators (KPIs) such as supplier ESG score improvements, training completion rates, and risk reduction metrics. Through detailed dashboards and regular reporting, we provide actionable insights for your teams to track progress and demonstrate value to stakeholders.
How do we start working with Nexio Projects on supplier engagement?
We begin with a diagnostic review of your supply chain landscape and current supplier practices, followed by co-designing a tailored engagement strategy to suit your risks, priorities, and capacity. Our collaborative approach ensures alignment and value creation for all stakeholders involved.
