The applicability of Supplier to Zero requirements and performance criteria will be determined through the Supplier Profile. It is essential that the Supplier Profile is completed accurately, and ideally reviewed and updated annually.

The Supplier Profile captures information about the facility’s operations, including:

• Facility and supplier type 

• Manufacturing and processing activities 

• Materials and products handled 

• Use and quantity of chemicals 

• Purchase of processed or part-processed input materials 

• Use of subcontractors 

• Industrial wastewater generation 

• Wastewater discharge pathway 

• Wastewater treatment processes

Based on this information, the Supplier Platform will identify the requirements and performance criteria applicable to the facility. A facility is required to demonstrate that they meet only the requirements and criteria applicable to its operations.
