Page 2: Overview Feedback QuestionsQuestion 1SA8000:2025 has been drafted to clarify that the extent of an organization’s responsibility to respect human rights is broad, but not endless or solitary. Is it clear that organizations have a broad responsibility to respect human rights, which extends beyond their immediate operations to include non-employee personnel, business relationships, and systemic issues, and that it must consider this entire scope as an integrated process (not as separate areas of concern)? Not clear Partly clear Mostly clear Fully clear Very clear Unsure Is it clear that while the organization must consider its risks and impacts in this broad sense, what it actively works to address will be narrower, as determined by its context and the risks and impacts it prioritizes in consultation with workers and other stakeholders? Not clear Partly clear Mostly clear Fully clear Very clear Unsure Is it clear that organizations have a shared responsibility for addressing human rights risks and impacts with other actors, including business partners, governments, civil society and workers themselves, and that collaborative action with these actors may be necessary? Not clear Partly clear Mostly clear Fully clear Very clear Unsure What remains unclear or missing?Question 2SA8000:2025 has been drafted to emphasize the importance of involving and integrating workers and stakeholders in all aspects of an organization’s management system. How effectively does the draft Standard achieve this goal? Does not achieve goal Partially achieves goal Mostly achieves goal Fully achieves goal Very effectively achieves goal Unsure What remains unclear or missing?Question 3As always, SA8000:2025 has been drafted to represent an aspirational vision of decent work. In support of this vision, the standard will be assessed through a progressive scoring methodology (rather than simple ‘yes/no’ compliance). Remember that certification thresholds for this scoring will be developed later in 2025, after publication of the standard. What benefits or concerns do you see with shifting to a progressive scoring model?As such, the draft Standard should not be viewed from the perspective of whether the criteria are currently achievable for a specific organization or type of organization, but as a comprehensive vision of decent work outcomes organizations should be working towards. Is the Standard appropriately aspirational? Not aspirational enough Somewhat aspirational Appropriately aspirational Slightly too aspirational Much too aspirational Unsure What remains unclear or missing?Question 4Is SA8000:2025 aligned with other international standards, legal frameworks, codes of conduct, etc. that you are familiar with? Choose one Not at all aligned Slightly aligned Moderately aligned Very aligned Extremely aligned Unsure Please explain Page 3: Overview Feedback Questions ContinuedQuestion 5How well does SA8000:2025 meet the needs and expectations of your program or organization? Choose one Does not meet needs and expectations Meets very few needs and expectations Meets some needs and expectations Meets most needs and expectations Meets all needs and expectations Unsure Please explainQuestion 6What issues or concerns related to work and workers are not adequately addressed?
