Kickstart assessment_Going it alone

The limitations of going at it alone

  • Sourcing the unique skillset required is difficult and expensive

  • Heavy time burden of supplier chasing and manual reporting via spreadsheets and emails

  • Much lower supplier response rates

  • Failure to make the required progress in achieving goals

These limitations can lead to stagnant sustainability initiatives - something which comes with high cost and high risk. Overcome this with our Kickstart Assessment.
