Self-Assessment Questionnaire for Coffee Producers

Tool 9b: Self-Assessment Questionnaires (SAQs) are a set of self-administered questions that allow the user of the SAQ to identify potential risks or gaps in their standards, systems, and practices. The purpose of an SAQ is to give the user a space to reflect and introspectively assess themselves and their performance across a range of topics. This SAQ is geared towards helping coffee producers identify potential labor risks1 in their operations and to provide them with concrete steps that they can take to address identified risks. The SAQ is an internal tool, which does not require the sharing of your answers with anyone, so it is best for users of the SAQ to answer the questions as fully, honestly, and accurately as possible so that the recommendations generated most closely meet the user’s needs.
