THE ROUTE TO COMPLIANCE
Our Social Accountability Services are available individually or combined into flexible packages with technical audits.
Why Social Audits?
You operate global businesses and have to balance the pressure of social and environmental responsibilities with the business drivers influencing your supply chain. Indeed increased globalisation has resulted in corporations sourcing goods from countries with cheaper production cost. This has brought attention to unions, interest groups and shareholders. They are suspicious of the corporations’ motives and any potential “short-cuts” taken in order to meet profit requirements.
Objective
Social Accountability Audit (code of conduct, human rights, and ethical requirements) ensures that your business partners abide with your company’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility. To validate transparency, consistency, and integrity, most companies use a third party like SGS to conduct the social accountability compliance audit.
Guidelines of a typical code of conduct assessment:
- Child labour
- Forced labour
- Health & Safety
- Freedom of assessment
- Discrimination
- Disciplinary practices
- Working hours
- Wages & Benefits
- Environment
SGS helps you evaluate social, ethical and environmental compliance throughout the supply chain.
