Complete Suppliers Sustainability Audit Questionnaire
Having received your Bronze Award, the next step is to complete the online Sustainability Audit Questionnaire (SAQ).
This will explore where you are on your environmental journey, examining all areas of your business to identify which activities are having the most environmental impact.
We show alongside the audit categories. The questions within are both generic and sector specific and consider areas of the business which are easily overlooked.
We not only ask the question, but explain why we are asking, provide examples of responses and suggestions of evidence required. Should you ever be uncertain, we are always there to help you.
The completed SAQ is submitted online with evidence supporting all the answers given.
Upon receipt, the SAQ and supporting evidence will be scrutinised by one of our assessors, guided by our independent qualified ISO 14001 Lead Auditor. If there are any errors, concerns or omissions the SAQ will be returned with a request that the necessary corrections are made and/or additional information submitted.
Upon successful submission of the SAQ and supporting evidence, a Silver, Gold or Platinum Trusted Supplier Achievement Certificate will be issued. Our assessors will be on hand to support you throughout the process and offer advice should your score be only a few points short of a higher award.
Details of your business achievement will be updated on the Greener Globe Funeral Standard website informing funeral directors, other companies and the public of your achievement.
Your Award will expire after one year. We will notify you prior to it expiring and it is renewed by simply submitting updated evidence online, like that originally supplied together with payment of your renewal fee to cover you for the next 12 months.
