Because the applicability of Supplier to Zero V2 requirements is determined by each facility’s Supplier Profile, facilities may see different requirements and performance criteria in their self-assessments.

The requirements and performance criteria shown to a facility reflect its specific operations and characteristics. Therefore, two facilities may receive different self-assessments, even if they operate in the same industry.

• Requirements and performance criteria that are not shown

Requirements and the related performance criteria that are not shown in a facility’s self-assessment are not applicable to that facility. They:

• Are not included in the facility’s assessment result

• Are not counted as unanswered

• Are not treated as performance criteria that the facility does not meet

• Comparing assessments between facilities

A facility with fewer applicable requirements and performance criteria does not necessarily have an easier assessment.

Each facility is evaluated only against the performance criteria applicable to its operations. Any percentage-based thresholds are calculated using the applicable performance criteria shown to that facility. This ensures that assessment results remain relevant and comparable despite differences in the number or type of criteria assessed.
