About the On-Site Check

If the SAQ of a company site indicates a potentially higher sustainability risk, an On-Site Check (OSC) is conducted at the supplier‘s site. Since a country risk factor is included in the risk evaluation, the necessary SAQ score to directly obtain a positive S-Rating may vary depending on the site‘s location.

With the OSC, we aim to assess a site‘s sustainability performance and provide support on further developing a supplier‘s site in terms of sustainability. The OSC is performed by one of the two audit companies, Intertek Certification GmbH or Elevate Ltd. The result of the OSC is communicated to the supplier after the OSC and a corrective action plan is developed if necessary.

Please note that the result of the SAQ is still taken into account in the S-Rating, even when an OSC was performed.
