There is no direct cost for the supplier being nominated for a Human Rights assessment. Assessment fee will be paid by Requestor.

Recognising the industry has shared supply chains, we designed a common questionnaire to promote efficiency and reduce the reporting burden for suppliers who will likely receive different requests from their customers. By agreeing a common questionnaire, it is anticipated this will reduce any duplication of efforts, minimise the cost of compliance and provide clarity to suppliers by using consistent terminology.

No. The questionnaire has been developed in a collaborative manner between the participation companies, and in consideration of applicable domestic and international laws.

Assessment report will be published and made available for the members of the service. If any findings have been identified, you are encouraged to add information about planned actions to close the gap, and mark actions as complete once actions have been implemented. This information will also be available for members of the service.

No. Sections 1-10 are mandatory. Sections 11-13 are optional, but suppliers are encouraged to respond to these questions. Requestor might request supplier to respond to all questions in the questionnaire.

Yes. Without evidence documents, the assessor will not be able to verify compliance and you will receive a low score. Please read the information under the Evidence details link for more information about what is expected to be submitted.

It has been decided by the service owners that the assessment process will only accept documentation in English. Suppliers are therefore encouraged to translate relevant sections and/or sentences to document compliance. Translations can be uploaded in a separate document and referenced in the comments section for relevant questions.

If you are not able to provide documentation in English, this must be discussed directly with the requestor (your client).

The scoring criteria are defined by the member companies of the service. Requirements for each question are available information in the questionnaire. 3rd party assessment providers and auditors, expects on the topic, conduct the assessments to secure a consistent approach and scoring for each assessment.

The interpretation of these scores is however, for the operators to determine for themselves. Eg. they could consider company size, country risk profile, SoW risk ect.

Once the report is published, you can discuss together with the requestor what types of actions (if any) they require your company to implement based on the assessment.

There are unfortunately no language versions in Magnet JQS. Contact your client if you are not able to complete the questionnaire in English.

Normal process allows 10 working days (two weeks) form nomination date to complete and submit the questionnaire. However, Requestor might consider the assessment to be urgent and will ask you to complete the questionnaire sooner. Remember to click “Submit questionnaire” when you are finished.

If you need additional time to complete the questionnaire, this must be discussed directly with the requestor (your client).

The desktop assessment is a standardized process and the assessor have a limited number of days to complete the assessment following your submission of the questionnaire. From the assessor submit the initial score – you have two workdays (48 hours) to add additional information that will be taken into consideration before the final score is set and the report is published.

Assessor will proceed and complete the assessment after two days. Please contact huri@collabor8.no ASAP after receiving notification about initial score if you are not able to respond within this time frame.

Once the assessment has been completed, you will have the opportunity to add additional information as actions taken to close findings. This information will also be available for the members of the service, but it will not be assessed by assessor.

The assessment is done against the set of criteria listed under “Evidence details” for each question, and the supplier will receive a score for each question based on answer and evidence documents provided. The score scale is from A (highest score) to D (lowest score).

It is up to each company to decide on what scores are acceptable.

First version of the questionnaire was developed by Shell, Equinor, BP and Total in 2018. Today the questionnaire is maintained by all members of the service.

You only need to complete the questionnaire if your company is nominated for desktop assessment. The response and evidence documents will be part of the record for the assessment. You will only have to complete the questionnaire again if your company is re-nominated.

When you have successfully submitted, the Assessor will review and set an initial score (normally within 5-7 working days).  You will then be notified by the system, and you have the opportunity to clarify or add additional information (within 48 hours/ 2 working days). After 48 hours the assessor will complete the assessment, set the final score and publish the report. The requestor will then be notified about your score and findings.
