Supplier Questionnaire for Farmed Seafood

Note: This questionnaire is used to gather supplier-specific data from aquaculture operations in the realm of
seafood1 sustainability assessments by WWF and its seafood business partners in Europe. All information given
by the supplier is treated confidentially. The purpose of the assessment by WWF is to offer guidance on
sustainability issues and identify potential for the improvement of the environmental performance of farm
suppliers to seafood businesses. The assessment process is not a certification and information will only be used
internally, not publicly.

How to use this Questionnaire

 This questionnaire applies to aquaculture grow-out operations and their production inputs only

 Where the applicants are working at processing level, it is mandatory to involve the farm management to correctly
answer the relevant questions
 Complete one questionnaire for one specific assessment unit only (definition see page 2)

 Correctly tick all applicable boxes for each question ( ) or add comments and information in the space provided

 Please support your answers by attaching documents and pictures where available (e.g. licences, feed documents,
pictures of operations etc.)
 The assessments and analysis of the information given by the supplier will be done anonymously

Important: assessors can only consider the information that you provide. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you
provide as detailed information as necessary. Try to be specific and answer all questions accurately and honestly.

In case of doubt, it is better to provide explanations and provide all information you have rather than skipping the answer.
The assessor can then select the information needed from your description.

Remember that the assessment will help you to identify improvement potential and is not meant to ‘punish transparency’.
The more accurate your answer, the more tailored and useful the feedback will be.

 Definition of Assessment Unit:

This technical questionnaire shall be completed according to the following definition of the ‘Assessment Unit’:
