As outlined in the requirements of the 2020 Sustainable Agriculture Standard, certificate holders must conduct a risk assessment.

The risk assessment tool is available for group and individually certified farm management as well as supply chain actors who have social topics in their scope. The tool helps to identify risks that could prevent the certificate holder from complying with the applicable requirements and reaching the expected sustainability outcomes.
