Metrics Definitions and Methodology
The measurement of all metrics below is not validated by an external body other than the assurance provider.
Suppliers invited to respond to the climate change questionnaire refers to all the strategic suppliers (covering 80% of Procurement spend) who were invited and completed the climate change questionnaire.
Total suppliers assessed with negative environmental impacts (e.g., in terms of resource use, waste management, energy management, etc.) in the supply chain that were disqualified: this is calculated based on the number of suppliers in prequalification who were disqualified vs. the total number of suppliers who participated in prequalification.
Suppliers’ operations covered by a certified ISO 14001 or EMAS environmental management system: this is extracted from the EcoVadis portal.
Payments aligned with standard payment terms is calculated based on how many payments have been made according to the standard payment term of 60 days.
The average time to pay an invoice (in days) is determined using the framework agreement weighted average payment terms (baseline date). This is calculated as the difference between the baseline date and the clearing date, weighted by the respective invoice value in EUR. If the clearing date occurs before the baseline date, it is adjusted to 0 and excluded from the calculation. In cases where no framework agreement exists and only a purchase order (PO) is present, the respective PO payment term days are used instead of the difference between the baseline date and the clearing date. These figures are reported and tracked in an internal digital tool managed by Procurement and are calculated based on POs with payment terms of 60 days or less.
Legal proceedings currently ongoing for late payments are counted on a case-by-case basis and refer to those that exceed our payment terms of 60 days or less.
