How to complete the origin assessment

Last updated: December 1, 2025

After you've added your origins, you need to complete the origin assessment.
This is a risk assessment for each origin to determine whether the products were produced deforestation-free under the EUDR.

Note: You only have to complete an origin assessment, if you are the producer of the raw materials. (E.g. if you grow the trees)

Steps

  1. Open the Origin Assessment

    • Click the name of the origin to open its overview page.

    • Click Complete questionnaire to start the assessment.

  2. Read the Instructions

    • Click "Read this to get started" to view the instructions.

    • Carefully read all the information provided.

    • Once done, click the arrow in the top-left corner to return to the overview of sections.

  3. Complete the Questionnaire

    • Questions are conditional. New ones may appear based on your answers. Wait a few seconds to ensure all questions are fully loaded before continuing.

    • When you finish a section, click the arrow in the top-left corner to move to the next section.

    • If a question requires documentation, upload the required file to ensure you can pass the later risk assessment.

  4. Run the Risk Assessment

    • After completing all questionnaires, close the window using the X in the top-right corner.

    • You’ll return to the overview screen. Click "Re-run assessment" to start the risk assessment.

    • Once the assessment has finished, you’ll see a status and score for each topic:

      • A failing topic means a risk has been identified. Click the control to view details.

      • A high score indicates a high risk, while a low score indicates a low risk.

      • "Passing" means that you've passed the risk assessment for that risk

      • "Pending" means that there are still open questions

  5. Mitigate Identified Risks

    • If risks are identified, open "Complete questionnaire again" and select the Risk mitigation questionnaire.

    • Choose the section marked as high risk and describe how you plan to mitigate this risk.

    • After you've written your mitigation plan, you don't need to change the original question. When you do the assessment again next year, you can answer the original question based on the mitigation steps you've taken.

    • Once you've filled in your mitigation steps, the control will show the "mitigated" status when you re-run the assessment.

  6. Re-run the Assessment

    • Once you’ve completed all mitigation steps, re-run the assessment to confirm that you now meet compliance.
