Sustainable Supplier Finance

An aligned ecosystem.

Extend ESG initiatives across your supply chain.

Meaningful motivation

Supplier incentives can take the form of preferential rates on early payments to those who demonstrate commitment to environmental performance or who qualify on social criteria.

In tune with stated aims

Forward-thinking companies committed to supporting certain types of businesses (minority-owned or those in developing countries, for example) can do so by delivering capital to those in need.

Theory into practice

Actively encouraging positive performance through financial incentives creates a more functional – and therefore sustainable – community.

Everything needed to achieve your goals,
all in one solution.

Step-by-step guidance

SMART⁺ provides comprehensive support for your program – from selecting the right funders, setting discount tiers, internal change management, supplier outreach, and reporting to program stakeholders – to help you maximize success.

ESG Performance Dashboard

At a glance, this unique tool lets you see how sharing ESG qualifications allows suppliers to benefit from preferential liquidity. If your board wants to see results that align with baseline expectations, here they are. If not, it’s clear what actions to take.

Supplier liquidity segments

Ensure the most cost-effective funding goes where you want it to go. Preferential methods might be specific financing rates for suppliers that meet performance objectives or social criteria. The matrix can be as multi-layered or as simple as best suits you. We’re here to pave the way.

Data source-agnostic

Businesses track ESG objectives in various ways, and SMART⁺ adapts to your environment by tapping into any of those data sources. We are configured to handle ESG data sources from rating agencies such as EcoVadis, government sources, supplier self-attestation, company scorecards, and more.
