Training Objective

SA8000 is a social responsibility standard developed by SAI (Social Accountability International). It helps the company to integrate social responsibility into the corporate rules, production process and operation, and at the same time provides evidence when a third party conducts certification on the company. By implementing SA8000, you can greatly cut monitoring cost, improve supply chain management, enhance corporate image and win consumer confidence and market competitive edge. This course will help you to understand the requirements of SA8000 and thus ｅｘｅｃute better social accountability practices within your company.
