SA8000 Social Accountability

Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and investment analysts scrutinise organisations to assess that minimum standards are upheld in the workplace and ensure that workers are getting a fair deal.


What is SA8000 Social Accountability?

NGOs, investment analysts and other stakeholders, including your employees, are increasingly evaluating your organisation's commitment to ensuring a fair and equitable working environment and transparent business practices.

This climate means that your organisation will be called upon more and more to demonstrate its social responsibility.

The most widely recognised global standard for managing human rights in the workplace is Social Accountability International's SA8000. It is the first auditable standard, suitable for organisations of all sizes anywhere in the world, and provides a framework for assuring all of your stakeholders that social accountability is being stewarded by your management.
