Developing a sustainability risk and opportunity methodology and criteria for a global mining company
TDi Sustainability worked closely with a global mining company’s sustainability and supply chain teams to develop a robust sustainability risk and opportunity methodology and criteria. This methodology aimed to prioritise inputs and materials in the company’s material supply chain based on their sustainability impact.
Mapping and prioritisation of supply chains
TDi conducted a comprehensive mapping and prioritisation of the company’s material supply chains, identifying key ESG issues ranked for potential action and interventions. This process resulted in the creation of a visual map highlighting areas for targeted sustainability efforts.
Resource packs and work plans
TDi created detailed resource packs or briefs for all relevant inputs and materials in the company’s supply chain. These resource packs provided in-depth insights and actionable recommendations to address sustainability challenges associated with each input or material. Additionally, TDi identified high-level work plans for practical actions or interventions to be taken by the company. These plans were tailored to address specific issues within the supply chains of priority inputs and raw materials, aligning with the company’s sustainability goals.
Country risk profiles and internal workshops
The TDi team developed country risk profiles for priority countries identified within the company’s supply chain, offering insights into the unique sustainability challenges and opportunities associated with each location. Internal workshops were conducted, facilitating key discussions and agreements among participants, and compiling detailed reports summarising the workshops, documenting key agreements and outlining actionable strategies to address sustainability issues within the supply chain.
