Ensuring Workers' Rights: ETI-Based Social Audits

Social Audits are based on the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code. ETI is a leading organisation that has developed a code of conduct outlining ethical standards for labour practices. This code of conduct includes the rights of workers to fair pay, safe and healthy working conditions, freedom of association, and protection against discrimination. This contributes to protecting workers’ rights and safeguarding the reputation and credibility of the companies involved.

Leveraging our expertise and comprehensive approach, FLOCERT empowers businesses by conducting Social Audits that identify areas for improvement, drive the adoption of ethical practices, and ultimately foster sustainable supply chains.
