Use the flow chart to select your assessment methodology.
Once chosen, review the governance principles/higher level indicators of this methodology, would you like to amend these and adjust the value chain?
Choose one governance principle from the framework, look at its indicators. Are there concerns or issues in your country that make you want to adapt these indicators?
