What it measures
% of raw materials from certified sustainable sources
this KPI measures the outcome of procurement decisions made over the previous reporting period (typically a year). The financial or reputational consequence of sourcing non-certified material is already locked in by the time the score is calculated.
Business impact
- Increased risk of brand damage and activist campaigns, forcing unplanned PR and legal spend to manage the fallout of a negative sourcing story.
- Degraded inventory position, as non-compliant stock may need to be ring-fenced or written off if a major customer suddenly demands full traceability.
- Sustained low performance on key commodities like palm or cocoa places the business in the delisting zone with major retailers, risking account termination.
Formula
(Certified sustainable volume / Total volume) x 100Grain
One row per purchase order line — supplier × commodity × material × plant × goods-receipt date
Inside the Implementation Pack
A preview of what's actually built for this KPI — extracted from the real Implementation Pack, not a mockup.
This is the primary ratio the pack's other measures build on — trend, rank, and period-comparison variants, all on Fact_Purchase_Order_Line.
Fact_Purchase_Order_Line— 7 mandatory columns — actual goods receipt date key, material key, ...Dim_Commodity— key + nameDim_Material— material_key + material_descriptionDim_Plant— key + nameDim_Supplier— key + nameDim_Date— Auto-generated calendar table — no customer data required
Full field-by-field data contract, in 4 SQL dialects (SQL Server, Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery), ships in the pack.
| Target | 0.7 — performance considered compliant at or above this line |
| Warning | 0.5 — amber alert — triggers a review |
Both live in one Excel tab — change them, refresh the report, done. No DAX editing needed.
