What is SA8000?

SA8000 is an auditable certification standard that encourages organizations to develop, maintain, and apply socially acceptable practices in the workplace. It addresses issues such as child labor, forced labor, health and safety, freedom of association and collective bargaining, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, compensation, and management systems. It is commonly used by companies seeking to demonstrate their commitment to ethical sourcing and responsible business practices, often in global supply chains.
