Usage Guidance
-
This metric is intended to capture the total units or volume an organization purchased from local supplier organizations during the reporting period. Individual organizations' definitions of local will depend on their business models and impact objectives. For example, if their purpose is economic development, they may define "local" within geo-political boundaries. If they focus on reducing emissions, they may define "local" by specific distance.
-
Organizations that purchase different types of products/services should consider reporting separately against each different type of product/service.
-
Organizations may wish to report this metric in conjunction with Supplier Organizations: Local (PI6385).
