The project:
§ Partners four multinational enterprises (MNEs)
§ With over a dozen small and medium enterprises (SMEs),
§ MNEs (the buyers) and SMEs (the suppliers) work together with
international and regional experts to explore how reporting can be
§ improved and promote sustainability and transparency within the supply
§ chain.
Participating MNEs are experienced in sustainability reporting and will mentor their suppliers in India, Turkey, Thailand, China, Chile and South Africa.

process using the Reporting Framework and the guidance of the SME

not-so-small organizations”.

§ Start measuring sustainability performance,
§ Use reporting as a catalyst for change within their organizations, and
§ Report on their sustainability performance.
The outcomes of the project will be:
§ Sustainability reports from over a dozen suppliers
§ A resource document on the lessons learned by all the project partners on sustainability reporting by suppliers
