Social Accountability Management System
Companies are increasingly held accountable for social and ethical aspects of their business, including their value chain. A social accountability system is a good way to assure customers that you protect workers’ rights and ensure ethical production of goods.
With a social accountability system, you can address social and ethical aspects of your business, communicate to customers that you work to ensure a humane workplace for all your employees, and that you follow internationally recognized labor standards.
Implementing a social accountability system proves that you take good care of your employees. Certification can help you discover strengths, weaknesses and improvement opportunities, ensure compliance against elected standards and strengthen confidence in your supply chain management performance.
SA8000
An SA 8000 certificate proves that your social accountability system has been measured against a best practice standard and found compliant.
