CSR Solutions is one solution to all your audit problems
What is the difference between Sedex and SMETA?
The name of the organization is Sedex, and the name of the audit methodology is SMETA.
The Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex) is a membership-based non-profit that leads efforts with buyers and suppliers to develop responsible and ethical business practices in global supply chains.
What is the difference between SEDEX and SMETA
The audit approach devised by the Sedex membership, SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit), is a compendium of good practice in ethical audit techniques. Instead of doing separate audits for each customer, a supplier can conduct one audit and share data with many customers using SMETA.
Licensed auditors in accordance with current best practices
SMETA was created to provide guidelines for both 2-Pillar and 4-Pillar audits, allowing supply chains to tailor their audits to their specific needs. The guidelines can be used to conduct audits against a variety of other labor codes based on the International Labour Organization's conventions (ILO).
How SMETA may help your company
Our highly qualified auditors conduct on-site observations, interviews with facility management and personnel, review facility documentation, and deliver their findings in a SMETA Audit Report. Our experts can develop a SMETA Corrective Action Plan Report (CAPR) based on the audit report, describing the modifications that the facility must do to attain compliance, and will assist:
• Reduce audit fatigue by establishing a universally understood audit format.
• Motivate employees while increasing workplace efficiency
• Improve existing ethical trading programs
• Respond to questions about ethical performance from non-government organizations and customers
Consumers will be able to better understand how supply chains are working, as well as notice and respond to change opportunities, thanks to the CSR Solution.
