Social Accountability

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.

Purpose

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 recognised labour standards.

Benefits

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.

ISO 26000 The ISO 26000 Social Responsibility standard is expected to set the norm for Social Responsibility in the time to come. It is a guidance standard and provides recommendations on social responsibility. SA 8000 An SA 8000 certificate lets customers know they can trust that you have implemented the necessary internal processes to ensure human rights for your employees.
