However, this would not apply to problems which were identified as material for the company, which should be reported. 2) Advanced requirements: include the complementary information / indicators for the minimum criteria, which are: Institutional and governance framework: • Details about the supply chain; • Details about involvement of interested parties in relation to sustainability performance; • Details about remuneration Economic:• Sustainable public procurement policies and practices; • Percentage or proportion of local procurements / providers; • Charity donations Environmental: • Assessment of supplying environment; • Consumption of materials, supply of materials, and recycled or used materials; • Energy intensity and renewable energy sources; • Water intensity and integrated management of water resources; • GES intensity; • Waste intensity; • Impact on biodiversity; • Commitment of supplier and consumer / client for environmental issues Social: • Social assessment of suppliers; • Local community impact; • Commitment of suppliers and consumers for sustainability issues |
