Focus dell’informativa
Disclosure 204-1 requires an organization to report the percentage of the procurement budget used for significant locations of operation that is spent on suppliers local to those operations. The organization also reports its geographical definition of local and the definition it uses for significant locations of operation.
A local supplier is an organization or person that provides a product or service to the reporting organization and is based in the same geographic market, with no transnational payment made to that supplier. The geographic market can be the surrounding community, a region within a country, or the country as a whole.
GRI recommends calculating the percentage using invoices or commitments made during the reporting period, for example through accrual accounting. The numerator and denominator should use the same procurement categories, reporting period, organizational scope and accounting basis. Supplier count is not a substitute for procurement spending.
Purchases made centrally by headquarters for significant locations should be included where they relate to those locations. Different geographic definitions of local can be used where justified by operating context, provided each definition is disclosed and applied consistently.
