Gap assessment
top identifies areas of non-conformity in the supplier/vendor factory so that gaps can be targeted for improvement.
On-site factory audit
We perform an evaluation of the supplier/vendor factory’s on-site quality system, workplace environment and capabilities. This can be done in accordance with standards set by the client, TOP or requirements for certified products. Our factory audit confirms that the supplier/vendor can produce the ordered product quantity to the agreed quality and time specifications.
Report
Our auditors prepare expert reports based on their observations as well as their subjective evaluations.
Follow-up audit
We follow up on the initial audit to determine if the supplier/vendor factory has made improvements based on the recommendations of the previous report.
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.
