SMETA audit

Introduction

Sedex is a non-profit organization headquartered in London, UK, where companies from anywhere in the world can apply for membership. It has continued to grow and expand by increasing its membership from around the world and improving the systems and services it provides. Sedex is an abbreviation of Supplier Ethical Data Exchange. Sedex is a network database that helps companies store labor code information within their business scope, and their customers can also share this information.

Sedex has gained the favor of many large retailers and producers. Many retailers, brand owners, and an increasing number of different industries, suppliers, and other organizations require the farms, factories, and manufacturers they collaborate with to participate in the Sedex Members Ethical Trading Audit (SMETA) to ensure that their operations comply with relevant ethical standards. Since the SMETA audit requires recognition from all Sedex A and AB members, other customers, and stakeholders, such a compliance system is:

●One model, one audit, widely recognized, no need for frequent audits;

● It helps motivate employees and enhance work efficiency;

● Provide support for the ethical management system currently implemented by the enterprise;

● Provide answers to questions raised by the media, non-governmental organizations, and customers regarding ethical business practices.

On-site audit process:

1. Audit kick-off meeting;

2. Workplace inspection;

3. Employee interviews;

4. Document review;

5. Conclude the pre-audit meeting;

6. End the meeting.

Taking into account the loss of production time, the disruption caused by the audit team to the factory's regular production is often greater than the cost of the audit itself. NormalTCI can integrate other types of audits to prevent companies from being overwhelmed by audits, minimize the impact on production, and ensure that the audits adhere to relevant procedures and specifications. With the assistance of our local team, we can promptly respond to your audit needs and provide convenient services.
