SEDEX SMETA

SMETA, which stands for Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit, is a comprehensive and widely recognized audit methodology. It was developed by the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex) to assess and monitor ethical and responsible business practices in global supply chains. SMETA 4 pillars audits evaluate various aspects of a company’s operations, including labor, health and safety, environmental impact, and business ethics.

SMETA standards are firmly rooted in the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code, which, in turn, is founded on the conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO). The ILO conventions provide internationally recognized guidelines for labor practices, ensuring fair and humane working conditions. Additionally, SMETA audits incorporate compliance with relevant local laws, thereby addressing specific regional requirements and regulations. This combination of global principles and local considerations makes SMETA audits a comprehensive and adaptable tool for assessing an organization’s commitment to ethical and sustainable business practices.
