Supplier carbon scores in HICX onboarding

Platform

DitchCarbon delivers its 0 to 100 supplier score into HICX, so procurement teams triage new suppliers on environmental impact during onboarding.

Can we screen new suppliers on carbon during onboarding?

Yes. In HICX a new supplier arrives with its DitchCarbon score, a 0 to 100 figure set against its industry, so onboarding triages on environmental impact alongside every other check. The criteria behind the score are shown one by one, and your HICX account manager activates the connector.

Onboarding is the easiest moment to raise carbon with a supplier. The commercial relationship is being set up, the supplier is already answering questions, and nothing has to be renegotiated.

A score works here because nobody in the onboarding team needs to know what a validated science based target is to use it. The expertise is in the figure, and the figure sits beside the other onboarding checks.

DitchCarbon can score any company in any location or industry. Over 2 million are already scored, and a company not seen before is researched on request.

A low score is a starting point for the conversation. The criteria the supplier has yet to earn are the specific things to ask for, and sustainable procurement covers how that ask reaches the contract.
