Social Audits
Working Together with Confidence

Independent audits of working environments are very valuable for businesses wishing to develop an effective social compliance programme, as they can cover complex issues such as local social conditions, cultures and languages of workers and standard industry practices, along with any applicable laws and regulations.

OUR APPROACH TO SOCIAL AUDITS

With over 1,300 laboratories and offices across more than 140 countries, Bureau Veritas is superbly positioned to provide independent social compliance audit services.

We use local auditors who are familiar with all areas of social compliance in their region, so we can perform thorough social audits and inspections of compliance-related processes and controls; and also report on results.

A BROAD RANGE OF ASSESSMENTS

Bureau Veritas evaluates supplier compliance with a variety of social standards, including corporate codes of conduct and industry standards established by organisations such as the Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP), the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), and the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (SEDEX).
