PLUS Rating A+

Once you have completed the RightSupply form or questionnaire, the system automatically generates your RS26000 Report or Digital Sustainability Report. This report displays the Provisional Sustainability Index, which ranks performance using a letter-based scale from G to A.

Once the scoreboard total exceeds 1,200 points, you become eligible for RightSupply A+ rating RightSupply additionally requires compliance with and demonstration of the following requirements to the review team that validates the rating.

The A+(PLUS) and A++(PLUS+) added value ratings are awarded when the requirements listed in the 10 sections are met:

1. HAVE A SCORE OF MORE THAN 1,200 POINTS ON THE SCOREBOARD OF THE RightSupply

2. MATRIX / MATERIALITY ANALYSIS (Minimum requirement for categories A and B+)

Have a materiality matrix o a system for assessing the aspects or impacts relevant to stakeholders (stakeholders and interest groups) in the area of sustainability. The materiality analysis shall also consider the impact of these aspects in relation to the significance for the organisation itself, assessing, where appropriate, the double financial materiality derived.

The organization must Show procedures, plans, or management systems to address the risks, expectations, needs, and opportunities arising from the material aspects identified as key or significant.

3. CLIMATE CHANGE

To have its own renewable energy production facilities at its own sites, whether owned by the organization or under its control through the assignment or acquisition of energy production, such as PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements), that cover 50% of the total energy consumption of production or service facilities ; or, failing that, ensure that 100% of such directly generated (Scope 1) and indirectly generated (Scope 2—emissions associated with non-renewable energy consumption purchased from third parties).

Carbon credits must come from a recognized accreditation program, represent additional, real reductions or removals, be quantified using conservative methodologies, and be verified by an independent third party. They must be individually traceable in a registry, include safeguards against double counting, mechanisms to address the risk of reversal, and environmental and social safeguards. The credits will be irrevocably retired in the name of the organization and for the period covered by the offset. 

In addition and in order to qualify A++ (>1400 points)the organisation shall have calculated its emissions in the three scopes 1,2,3 in accordance with the GHG verified or under ISO 14064-1, and have an emission reduction plan that meets the following criteria:

      1. Plan for implementing the Paris Agreement, revised at COP26. It requires a quantitative commitment to reduce and offset total CO2eq emissions, including Scope 3 emissions, by 2030. 
      2. A CARBON NEUTRAL target will be setfor these emissions by the year 2050, although complete decarbonization is recommended, with targets such as the Net-Zero Standard or those aligned with the ISO 14068 standard.
      3. In the absence of documented public commitments regarding emissions reduction plans , or in the absence of information on targets aligned with the preceding points in the organization’s verified non-financial reports and statements, the organization may use the tool itself RightCarbon tool included in the RightSupply.net rating tool (requires an activation request at validation@rightsupply.net).

4. CIRCULAR ECONOMY
This criterion does not apply to service companies where raw materials are not directly incorporated into the product.

Have a life cycle assessment of the product or service (the primary or most representative one), or an eco-design plan that establishes actions or best practices for resource management, reuse, recovery, recycling, reverse logistics, or dematerialization —including raw materials, products, components, and packaging.

Alternatively, the organization must provide a calculation of the Material Circularity Index (MCI). To do so, the organization may use the tool itself RightCircular tool included in the RightSupply.net rating tool (requires an activation request at validation@rightsupply.net). Criterion A+ will be considered met when the value obtained for the local/organizational MSC exceeds 50%.

In addition and in order to qualify A++ (>1400 points), the organization must approve A Roadmap or Master Plan for the Circular Economy with quantitative targets linked to the Material Circularity Index (MCI) of your organization and/or its main products. This plan must cover at least 80% of the weight of the materials involved in the organization’s own processes, as well as the volume of materials involved in the use of its products or the provision of its services. Guidelines such as the Global Circularity Protocol (GCP) for Business, the ISO 59020 standard, or the RightCircular Toolkit may be used. Criterion A++ will be considered met when the value obtained for the local/organizational ICM is greater than 80%.
