Globally, human rights issues are on the rise. Demonstrate your commitment to safe and fair working conditions, business ethics and supply chain due diligence with FSSC 24000 social management systems certification.
In a world where human rights and ethical practices are increasingly scrutinized and transparency is of the utmost importance, it is essential for manufacturing and processing sector organizations to demonstrate their commitment to social sustainability.
Why is FSSC 24000 important?
FSSC 24000 helps manufacturing and processing sector organizations adopt a management system approach that drives continuous improvement to meet social sustainability and performance requirements.
The scheme also helps you improve workplace health and safety and business ethics, apply due diligence in supply chains, protect your brand, drive business impact and contribute to numerous UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
FSSC 24000 aligns with ISO's management system approach to help structure, focus and drive continuous improvement, creating high-impact business systems. It also aligns with ISO's Harmonized Structure that enables integration with other ISO management systems. If you have existing management systems, such as FSSC 22000 and ISO 9001 (quality management), you can integrate the same approach to achieve social objectives.
What are the benefits of FSSC 24000?
FSSC 24000 certification enables you to:
- Effectively address human rights and critical social issues
- Implement due diligence in your supply chain management
- Adopt a robust social management system for ongoing improvement
- Identify and manage social risks and opportunities
- Demonstrate compliance with the specified requirements
- Contribute meaningfully to the UN SDGs
