Increasingly, the public and other interested parties, such as purchasers, shareholders, government officials and international bodies, are expressing concern over the way in which companies perform their business. In addition to concerns over the environmental impacts of products and facilities, the social impact of employment practices now influences decision-making.

As individuals, we all have opinions of what is acceptable or unacceptable for the activities and behavior of others. Although values vary considerably between individuals, particularly individuals in different communities, there are “common core fundamentals” of human rights, human dignity and compliance with applicable law. Unfortunately, many companies have paid scant regard to these issues until scrutiny by others has forced them to do so. The negative effects of such neglect have been extremely damaging.

Social Accountability Codes and Standards typically address the following areas:

Health & Safety

Employment Practice

Child Labor

Forced Labor

Discrimination

Corporal Punishment

Social accountability requirement:

    No child labour

    No forced labour

    Health and safety at the workplace

    Freedom of association and right to collective bargaining

    No discrimination on race, creed, caste and sex

    Disciplinary practices

    Working Hours

    Remuneration

    Management Systems

Note:

Audit findings will not necessarily be based on records alone

Fair and honest dealings must not only be done, but even more importantly, it must be perceived to be done.
