Supplier Assessment Methods

Desk Assessment

ThaiBev assesses supplier’s sustainability risk on its online supplier portal, Supplier Life Cycle Management. The assessment comprises governance, environmental, social, and supplier management. The assessment questionnaire is developed with reference to Together for Sustainability (TfS) Initiative.

On-site Assessment

ThaiBev conducts on-site assessment annually. The on-site assessment is performed by internal auditors. For critical food materials, ThaiBev consider using third-party auditors to perform the assessment. The assessment includes the criteria on quality, capacity, and ESG. The assessed suppliers with high risks are required to conduct corrective actions or temporarily suspended if major non-compliance issues are found.

Assessment based on Recognized ESG Standards

ThaiBev assesses suppliers based on the evidence of audit carried out by other party in alignment with recognized ESG standard, e.g., SMETA, SAI Platform, etc.

The suppliers with high ESG risks are identified from supplier assessment processes. The assessment comprises the criteria in alignment with the key ESG issues in supply chain management.
