SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is an internationally recognized social auditing methodology used to assess business practices related to social compliance, working conditions, occupational health and safety, the environment, and business ethics. SMETA Training aims to help participants gain a thorough understanding of the Sedex system and the SMETA auditing approach and apply this knowledge effectively within their organizations. Understanding SMETA enables organizations to respond more effectively to customer and supply chain expectations. It also helps identify social compliance risks at an earlier stage, improve working conditions, and integrate ethical trading principles into organizational culture.
The training provides participants with comprehensive information about the SMETA Best Practice Guidance, the auditing process, and the fundamental SMETA requirements. It aims to help participants understand the essential structure of the Sedex and SMETA systems, become familiar with the requirements involved in social compliance audits, and prepare more effectively for auditing processes.
The training also aims to raise awareness of ethical trading, workers’ rights, and social responsibility practices, which are becoming increasingly important in national and international supply chains.
SMETA audits are an important tool for protecting workers’ rights, establishing safe working conditions, promoting ethical business practices, and evaluating organizations’ social responsibility performance.
Through this training, participants can gain a deeper understanding that social and ethical audits are not merely compliance assessments but also essential management processes that help organizations establish sustainable, transparent, and responsible supply chains.
