Our experienced auditors are trained on multiple brand-specific codes and deliver thorough, unbiased assessments that help suppliers meet the expectations of their buyers while improving their own operations and worker welfare.
What is a Code of Conduct Audit?
A Code of Conduct audit is a third-party assessment that evaluates a supplier's or manufacturer's compliance with the ethical, social, and environmental standards defined by a specific brand or retailer. These audits typically cover labor practices, health & safety, environmental management, business ethics, and sub-contracting controls.
