What is a social audit?

A social audit is a way of knowing and understanding the working conditions in a company.

Through these audits, a company can evaluate its suppliers, monitor the health and safety of workers and evaluate if it supports fundamental human rights for all people.

After requesting the social audit, an auditor goes to the company under evaluation, observing its conditions on the factory.

As a result of the visit and the study of the conditions of the workers, it prepares a report and a Corrective Action Plan (CAPR), if necessary, to improve working conditions.

After the above, if the company complies with the requirements in terms of human rights, health and occupational safety, it is audited.
