About this resource

Practical material for leadership teams

Mid-market suppliers are answering more customer sustainability questionnaires every year, usually from scratch, usually at senior cost, and usually without knowing which accounts depend on the answer. This toolkit gives leadership teams a way to log and triage incoming requests, build the standing data set that answers most of them, and see what the process is costing against the revenue it protects. Built around the recognised VSME baseline, with model wording for the requests you should be declining. Available as a fillable PDF, a print-ready PDF for a leadership session, and an Excel scorecard.

What this resource covers

  • Incoming customer requests and their commercial importance
  • The standing evidence set needed for efficient responses
  • Process cost, protected revenue and requests to decline
