SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is the most widely used social audit in the world. SMETA is Sedex’s social auditing methodology which enables businesses to assess their sites and suppliers to understand working conditions in their supply chain. SMETA assesses a site based on its organization’s standards of labour, health and safety, environment, and business ethics. It is also designed for suppliers to share one audit with multiple customers, meeting all customer requirements and reducing duplication and audit fatigue.

Pillars of the Sedex
The SMETA has designed one audit to meet multiple customer requirements, for the suppliers to reduce the duplication in Ethical auditing. SMETA has 3 major elements
SMETA Audit includes the following steps:
1. Submit a self-evaluation form
All the applicants are required to complete a self-evaluation form before we begin with our Sedex audit. Forms are filled out by the sites to be audited.
2. Conduct a Sedex audit on site
Our auditors visit the sites to be audited. An auditing team assesses the extent to which your social management documentation meets the SMETA criteria. The duration of any given audit depends on the number of employees and locations.
3. Issue a report and CAPR
Once the Sedex audit is done, our auditors create a corrective action plan for you along with a detailed audit report (SMETA Report & CAPR), which you can now upload to the Sedex database. Once completed, you may opt to review your Sedex audit with us.

TopCertifier helped us in restructuring our system and now we have the right model to excel. We thank the team at TopCertifier for creating the difference.
The process improvement training was fantastic. Since our focus was more on process improvement than certification it really helped the team.
Did exactly what was required without going overboard. A manageable system. Worked with existing systems. It was easy to step up and improve.
