Non-tier 1 suppliers who supply goods and services to ThaiBev’s tier 1 suppliers are also rated in order to identify Critical Non-tier 1 Suppliers. ThaiBev works closely with its tier 1 suppliers to identify Critical Non-tier 1 Suppliers and assess their sustainability risks to improve the assessment quality and gain more insights to risks in the supply chain.
Non-tier 1 suppliers are deemed critical when their total criticality score are equal to or higher than 65.
SUPPLIERS WITH POTENTIALLY HIGH ESG RISKS
ThaiBev uses the CROSS Supplier Risk Management (SRM), an automated supplier risk database platform to screen the suppliers with potentially high ESG risks. The risk identification matrix in the screening process includes country-specific risk, sector-specific risk, and commodity-specific risk. The risk rating is developed with reference to multiple ESG databases, e.g., S&P Global, The Sustainability Yearbook 2023, SASB, CCPI: Climate Change Performance  Index 2023, Freedom Index by Country 2023, and The 2022 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI).
