Raising awareness of the benefits of certification and assurance services
As Social Accountability International describe, the SA8000® standard is the central document of SAI’s work. It is an auditable certification standard based on international workplace norms of International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This standard is the benchmark against which companies and factories measure their performance. Those seeking to comply with SA8000® have adopted policies and procedures that protect the basic human rights of workers. Further details can be found from SAI.
