Payments to Supplier Individuals: Historically Marginalized (PI7814)

This metric is intended to capture how organizations support the livelihoods of individuals who belong to groups historically marginalized on the basis of race and/or ethnicity through their supply chains.

The categorization of historically marginalized groups varies with location and context. With no internationally agreed-upon definition as to which groups constitute historically marginalized on the basis of race and/or ethnicity, if well-established local policies exist (as in South Africa, with the Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment [BBBEE] definition of historically marginalized, or in India, based on backward caste), organizations should refer to these local guidelines to identify groups historically marginalized on the basis of race and/or ethnicity. Otherwise, and wherever appropriate, organizations should provide additional detail regarding their tailored methodology for defining these groups.
