Assessments should reflect your UK operations, or the business unit within scope of the SCS programme. If your ESG policies or practices are group-wide, ensure that you reference what applies locally.
What if we don’t have evidence but we’re doing the work?
Where practices are informal or undocumented, score at level 1.
To reach level 2 or 3, evidence must support the claim. The Knowledge Base includes tools to help formalise what you already do.
Are there minimum scores to pass?
Yes — some questions are tagged as “Key Questions”. You must reach at least level 2 (Managed) on all Key Questions to be awarded Silver. Other questions are more flexible.
Do I have to answer every question?
Yes, unless explicitly marked as “not applicable”. The system will prompt you if a section is incomplete.
What if we want help interpreting the model?
You can use the interactive demonstrations in this Knowledge Hub or speak to a practitioner or delivery partner.
