Our Approach
The SES assessment is conducted in our online tool, designed to be accessible and provide you with clear insights:
1
You will receive a link to the DEI assessment platform from EY and send this to all of your suppliers who will be part of the review. Alternatively EY can manage the process on your behalf and share the assessment link with the suppliers directly.
2
Supplier companies complete the assessment and provide supporting documentation.
3
EY teams reviews the supporting documentation and prepares the final summary report.
4
You will receive a supplier rating on the core competencies along with benchmarking and recommendations if required. The findings will be summarised in a report, including 1-page summary report for each supplier.
