APPLICABLE STANDARDS
Social Accountability 8000 (SA8000)
The SA8000 Standard is the world’s leading social certification program. It provides a holistic framework allowing organizations of all types, in any industry, and in any country to demonstrate their dedication to the fair treatment of workers. The SA8000 Standard is based on internationally recognized standards of decent work, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, ILO conventions, and national laws. SA8000 applies a management-systems approach to social performance and emphasizes continual improvement—not checklist-style auditing.

ISO 26000:2010, Guidance on Social Responsibility
ISO 26000:2010 provides guidance to all types of organizations on social responsibility and can be used to inform public policy activities. ISO 26000 is intended as guidance, and not for any certification.
