Once the sourcing strategy is decided the organization should set and record its sustainability criteria in the specification or the related documents (draft contract, brief, scope of work, prequalification criteria), in coordination with internal stakeholders, covering the goods or services, the production and process methods and the supplier organization; criteria should reflect the sourcing strategy's priorities with key requirements as minimums, be objective and verifiable, clearly defined without bias or collusion, transparently communicated, allow fair competition with attention to SMO capacity, and state how far down the supply chains assessment goes; the draft contract may add rights to assess or audit all parties, supplier obligations to report significant impacts, minimum standards for lower tiers and termination rights for sustainability breaches.
