SMETA

About this Standard

SMETA’s role is to align social audit standards and monitoring practices, to ease the auditing burden on suppliers by sharing reports and driving improvements in supply chain labor standards.

Why choose this Standard?

In the certification industry, various social audits are performed such as BSCI, WRAP, SA 8000 and ICTI. All these social audits can be uploaded onto Sedex. It is up to the individual member to decide which audit best suits their purposes, however, Sedex hopes that by providing SMETA best practice guidance publicly, companies will ultimately establish one international audit protocol.
