SMETA Insights

What is SMETA?

SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is one of the most widely used social audit methodologies globally. It's not a standard or code of conduct itself, but an audit procedure compiled by Sedex to assess a site against the ETI Base Code or local law, covering areas such as labour standards, health and safety, environment and business ethics. It helps businesses assess their suppliers and demonstrate responsible business practices.
