Agriculture assessments

Independent farm level assessments — where FLA’s accredited assessors visit a sample of farms producing in-scope commodities each year — are a key component of FLA’s agriculture accreditation process.

FLA evaluates the performance of a company’s HRDD program at the country level and working conditions at the farm level through five types of annual assessments. The selection of a specific assessment type is based on supply chain traceability, the maturity of a company’s human rights due diligence program, and the level of risk in a given region.
