SMETA from Sedex is a standard driven by many multinational companies. It uses a social auditing methodology, enabling businesses to assess their sites and suppliers to understand the working conditions in their supply chain.

A social audit is one of the best ways to understand the working conditions at a supplier site. An auditor physically visits the site – or workplace – of a business, enabling the auditor to assess the conditions on the ground. Social audits enable businesses to assess their suppliers, monitor health and safety for workers, and signal zero tolerance of human rights abuses such as child and forced labour.
