MYThe Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audits (SMETA) methodology enables organisations to assess their sites and suppliers to understand working conditions in their supply chain. QLM has been formally assessed under the full 4-pillar SMETA methodology.
What Is SMETA
With today’s regulatory conditions and consumer expectations, companies need to understand and control risks in their supply chain. SMETA enables businesses to assess their sites and suppliers based on their standards of labour, health and safety, environment and business ethics.
SMETA is the most widely used social audit in the world with over 40,000 audits uploaded onto the SEDEX platform every year. It was designed to minimise duplication of effort and provide members and suppliers with a reliable and consistent audit format.
It combines the requirements of the ETI Base Code, which is founded on the conventions of the International Labour Organisation, as well as relevant local laws.
What are the Four Pillars of a SMETA Audit?
- Labour standards
- Health & Safety
- Environmetal
- Business Ethics
