A factory audit ensures that the supplier or vendor can design and produce according to normative requirements. It also ensures that a new or existing manufacturer can deliver quality products, undertake continuous improvements and operate efficiently. An annual factory inspection determines if the products to be manufactured/certified fulfill the correct requirements. By providing a means to examine a factory’s structure, organisation, quality process and experience, the audit enables you to compare potential suppliers and select a viable source.
This is to ensure clients lower the risk of contributing to social and environmental harm by committing to standards which address the concerns of their stakeholders and to ensure that your business partners abide with your company’s commitment to corporate social and ethical responsibility.
Top Inspection will verify the compliance status based on the client’s Code of Conduct, SA8000/ETI social system standards and local laws with impartiality and justness. Effective social accountability programs are characterized by transparency, engagement with stakeholders, and a long-term, systematic approach.
