Sustainable supply chain finance
Suppliers earn a cheaper rate on early payment when they meet audited sustainability targets — better ESG performance moves a supplier up a tier, and each tier discounts the margin it pays.
Rate ladder · Aurora Freight Supplier Sustainability Programme
Effective rate = base + standard margin − tier discount.
Base 430 bps + standard margin 180 bps. A PLATINUM supplier pays less than an unrated one on the same invoice.
| Tier | Min score | Discount | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Platinum | 85% | −90 bps | 520 bps |
| Gold | 72% | −60 bps | 550 bps |
| Silver | 58% | −35 bps | 575 bps |
| Bronze | 40% | −15 bps | 595 bps |
| Unrated | 0% | −0 bps | 610 bps |
