SA8000 Recognized By Brands

SA8000 Standard Recognition

Mutual, partial, and one-sided recognition of social compliance programs consolidates efforts across standards and codes, and can reduce the amount of resources required for their implementation. SAI actively seeks opportunities to align the SA8000 certification with systems provided by other organizations.

SA8000 Recognized By Brands

SAI works closely with several brands that have decided to accept the SA8000Standard as part of their social compliance program. These companies have found several benefits in recognizing SA8000 in lieu of conducting their own audits.

Some of the advantages include:

SAI’s regular revisions ensure the Standard’s continued relevance in the face of new and emerging social and human rights issues.

The Standard emphasizes strong management systems that encourage facilities to continuously measure their social performance and improvement.

Recognizing the Standard can result in significant savings in audit costs and in an opportunity to allocate resources more effectively to those facilities that need more support.

The accredited SA8000 certification system provides an additional, independent layer of oversight to assure all SA8000 audits are conducted in a fair, reliable, and consistent manner.
