Compass Scorecard

The Compass Scorecard, as used in the JARGONFREE Compass, is an implementation-oriented assessment framework designed to help companies identify how sustainability-related requirements and commitments function across contracts and supply chains. The Compass Scorecard organises recurring contracting challenges into six dimensions:

• Attitudes
• Relevance
• Architecture
• Language & Design
• Feasibility & Realism
• Action & Implementation

The dimensions represent recurring areas where sustainability-related content may either support or hinder implementation.

The Scorecard supports reflection on different contracting approaches, ranging from inactive and reactive practices to more proactive and transformative approaches to sustainable contracting. Rather than functioning as a compliance checklist or maturity model, the scorecard helps companies identify where commitments may fail and what changes may be needed to move from “words on paper” towards real-world action and embedded practice.
