The NETpositive Supplier Engagement Tool enables your company to develop a free NETpositive Sustainability action plan in line with the environmental, sustainability and institutional objectives of your HE customers.

The Tool also demonstrates that sustainability is not just about reducing energy or recycling but also about how sustainability relates to your core business practice and importantly how to maximise your social and economic impact through the choices you make and the things you do. This is implicit in our NETpositive approach.

For too long sustainability strategies and commitments have been focused primarily on environmental issues and predominantly on the reduction of negative impacts. A NETpositive commitment simply recognises that, as well as reducing negative environmental impacts, we should also pay more attention to enhancing the positive impacts of our individual and collective activity; environmentally, socially and economically. The aim is to achieve an overall position that is NETpositive.

Share your Action Plan

Use the ‘share’ button at the end of the actions page to give other colleagues access to your action plan. This enables more than one person to contribute to the plan and means you do not need to have duplicate plans for your company.

Revisit your Action Plan

Regularly re-visit your plan to ensure that the information is up-to-date, for example if the information on the universities you supply changes. Also, ensure you re-visit your actions to up-date if you need to mark as ‘complete’ your ‘in progress’ actions or move from ‘not started’ to ‘in progress’. Be sure to add evidence against your actions to demonstrate to your customers what your company is actually doing with regards to sustainability.
