Questionnaires

BioVal Supplier Questionnaires: Training Videos

Enhance biodiversity along your supply chain with structured assessment tools

The BioVal project has developed practical questionnaires to assist companies in assessing the biodiversity performance of their suppliers from agriculture, fisheries, and aquaculture. These Excel-based tools enable systematic data collection from suppliers and support informed decisions towards more sustainable sourcing practices.

Our training videos provide step-by-step guidance for the effective implementation of these questionnaires. Whether you work with plant producers, wild fish catchers, or aquaculture businesses – these resources will help you engage suppliers meaningfully and identify opportunities for biodiversity improvement.
