How is the SAQ 5.0 scored and rated?

Answer

SAQ 5.0 results show two main indicators: a 'Minimum Scope Rating' (Rating A-F) based on mandatory questions for your industry and headcount size, and a 'Sustainability Score' percentage reflecting performance across all mandatory answered questions.

Background

The SAQ 5.0 rating reflects how well you meet the essential sustainability requirements for your specific industry sector.
Minimum Scope Rating:
A: 100% (Green)
B: 80% - 99% (Green)
C: 60% - 79% (Amber)
D: 40% - 59% (Amber)
E: 20% - 39% (Red)
F: Below 20% (Red)
Sustainability Score: This percentage shows your overall performance, including both mandatory and optional questions you answered, similar to previous SAQ versions.

Steps

  1. Sign in to your SUPPLIERASSURANCE account.
  2. Find the completed questionnaire that you want to view the rating for on your dashboard (use filters and search if needed).
  3. Select the questionnaire tile to go to the questionnaire overview page.
  4. On the 'Overview' tab, you will see your SAQ 5.0 rating as well as a breakdown chart showing you your rating by each sustainability section within the SAQ 5.0 questionnaire.
  5. If a customer has set a minimum requirement on an answer within the SAQ 5.0 questionnaire and your SAQ 5.0 response does not yet meet this, this will show as an 'Outstanding minimum requirement' on this page.
  6. To update your SAQ 5.0 questionnaire response to improve your SAQ 5.0 Rating or to meet your customer's minimum requirement, choose the 'Update' icon on the top right of the page on the questionnaire tile.
