Purchasing & CSR Delegate at NaTran (formerly GRTgaz)
It was the personalized approach that convinced us; there are no other tools for e-commerce. It was also important for us to choose a French tool.
"The Scoring from Positive Company is "a compass", in CSR one can quickly get scattered. It is an opportunity to prove our transparency and our progress. It reinforces our convictions."
Testimonial from Petit Bateau, marketplace partner evaluated on behalf of La Redoute for 3 years.
Positive Company® has built the tool that perfectly matches our use case. The human contact convinced us and the teams were very flexible. Moreover, the data is hosted in France on responsible servers, which was an important criterion.
Frequently asked questions: Supplier CSR scoring
Supplier CSR scoring is an assessment of the CSR performance of your business partners, conducted using a structured questionnaire covering the pillars of Environment, Social, Governance, and Responsible Purchasing. It allows you to identify your risks, prioritize your actions, and track the progress of your value chain over time.
Your suppliers respond to a customizable questionnaire based on their sector, with or without supporting documents depending on the chosen level (automatic, verified, or customized). Our teams handle follow-ups via email and phone, with a guaranteed response rate of over 70% for the automatic option.
Both assess the CSR performance of suppliers on a similar principle. Scoring by Positive® stands out with human support at every step, data hosted in France, and a feature to detect existing evaluations (EcoVadis, LUCIE, Sedex...) to prevent your suppliers from duplicating their efforts. Additionally, the Scoring by Positive solution is completely free for all suppliers, regardless of the chosen evaluation level.
The CSR assessment of suppliers is not systematically mandatory, but it is becoming an essential compliance lever for companies subject to the duty of vigilance or the European CS3D directive. These texts impose a principle of reasonable diligence across the entire value chain: companies must identify, prevent, and correct risks related to their suppliers and subcontractors, not just their own activities.
The assessment is free for your suppliers. The cost depends on the chosen evaluation level (automatic, verified, or customized) and the number of suppliers to be assessed, contact our teams for a quote tailored to your value chain.
CSR scoring forms the basis of the assessment, complemented by two tools dedicated to compliance: Risk Mapping to prioritize at-risk suppliers, and Live Monitoring for continuous reputational monitoring (sanctions, money laundering, politically exposed persons), essential in the context of the duty of vigilance.
The topics covered relate to the company's activities, governance, social issues, the environment, and societal aspects. It is possible to add a block of questions that is specific to you: detailed carbon footprint, actions regarding employee health and safety, etc.
Our frameworks, reviewed annually, are aligned with the latest European regulations.
All data is stored on green and secure servers based in France at DATACAMPUS and we ensure compliance with GDPR. The dashboard allows for easy tracking and analysis of the CSR performance level of partners.
