WHAT IS A FACTORY AUDIT?
Retailers, importers and buyers all require a high level of confidence in the reliability, quality and production capacity of their vendors and suppliers. In situations where there is a limited pool of suitable supply chain partners, identifying or developing vendors who meet these requirements can pose real challenges. When vendors and suppliers fail to deliver the promised level of quality, your products may be rejected during the final production and inspection stages. These products may be barred from international markets if they do not meet international quality standards or legal and normative requirements.
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.
