Supplier Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs)

Gain visibility and control over your supply chain with QIMA's supplier Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs). Our SAQs empower suppliers to self-report, helping you identify ESG risks, boost transparency, and collaborate with your suppliers for continuous improvement.

Manage ESG Risks in Your Supply Chain with Supplier SAQs

QIMA's supplier Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs) help brands and retailers across industries gain visibility and control over environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks in their supply chains. By completing comprehensive SAQs, suppliers can self-report on a wide range of sustainability metrics, enabling you to identify potential issues and collaborate on targeted improvement programs.

SAQs serve as the crucial first step in an efficient, risk-based due diligence strategy, empowering you to quickly collect actionable information and documentation from all tiers of your supply network. This ready-to-use solution saves you time and resources in assessing ESG performance across your suppliers.

SAQs cover areas such as environmental management, worker rights and safety, business ethics, and supply chain traceability. The data collected through SAQs empowers companies to:

  • Establish a baseline understanding of sustainability performance across the supply chain

  • Pinpoint high-risk suppliers and areas for improvement

  • Monitor progress over time and track the impact of mitigation efforts

  • Ensure compliance with evolving regulatory requirements and customer expectations

Integrating SAQs into your supplier management process is a crucial step towards building a more transparent, resilient, and sustainable supply chain.
