Social Accountability Auditing - SA 8000
Economic globalization has increased the complexity of determining the
responsibility of large corporations for the social conditions of
workers involved in producing their products. Recent high profile cases
including NIKE, Wal-Mart and others has focused attention on the
sourcing practices of large corporations. GQS can provide in-depth
analysis of the current status of your suppliers versus the SA 8000
international Social Accountability standards and provide you with
detailed reports on the status of your suppliers, and what your risks
are.
The task of rating corporate social responsibility has become more complex as global business now includes multiple time zones, language barriers, and local labor laws. Let the experts at GQS provide the process to ensure that you do not have unknown liabilities in your supply base in Asia.

problems? If you would like a truely objective opinion GQS can audit
the supplier and provide the answers. Each audit also includes a
