Knowing a shipment’s location is different from explaining where a product came from and what supports a sourcing statement. This SurveyLegend questionnaire focuses on the information a team can substantiate and communicate.
When to use this survey
Use it before preparing a sourcing disclosure or reviewing the information available for one product group. Set a clear scope and reference date. Invite the people who maintain or use the relevant records through an email survey , while keeping confidential evidence in an approved document system.

Customize your supply chain transparency survey
Define the product group, sourcing boundary and reference date before sharing. Clarify what “relevant upstream suppliers” means for that scope. Explain that answers are self-reports to guide follow-up, not proof of complete visibility. Request evidence through an approved channel with appropriate access rather than adding public file uploads or confidential records here.

How to use the answers
Separate unknown information from information that exists but cannot yet be disclosed. Group open-ended data into missing records, unclear ownership and unresolved disclosure decisions. Assign a verification task before converting a respondent’s confidence into a public claim. Do not create a compliance or sustainability score from these answers.
Nie and colleagues’ research distinguishes visibility, traceability and transparency. Its abstract describes transparency as requiring “contextual disclosure data for stakeholder accountability”. The supply chain framework informs this questionnaire’s focus on evidence and disclosure responsibilities. The framework is based on literature reviews; it does not verify an organization’s records or validate this original questionnaire.
Frequently asked questions
Is transparency the same as tracking a shipment?
No. This form focuses on the information and context needed to explain sourcing to an intended audience. Operational tracking is a different information task.
Can the results prove compliance?
No. Self-reported answers identify follow-up work. Any compliance claim needs the appropriate evidence and review outside this questionnaire.
Should suppliers complete this version?
This version is for the internal team reviewing information readiness. A supplier request needs its own defined evidence requirements and secure response process.
