SEDEX SMETA 4-Pillar Audit Preparation SOP
Step-by-step factory preparation roadmap covering Labor Standards, Health & Safety, Environment, and Business Ethics.
Labor Standards: Forced Labor, Child Labor & Freedom of Association
A practical SOP for the labour standards pillar of social compliance: how to prevent forced labour, verify worker age, protect freedom of association, and remediate problems when they are found. Built on the ETI Base Code and the ILO core conventions that SMETA, WRAP, and buyer codes of conduct all reference.
Working Hours, Overtime Limits & Payroll Compliance Audits
A working hours and payroll audit SOP for garment factories: the legal baseline for hours and overtime, the three-way reconciliation that catches hidden overtime and underpayment, and the payroll checks auditors run on every SMETA, WRAP, and buyer audit. Built around the Bangladesh Labour Act standard working day and week, with every other numeric limit flagged for verification against current law and buyer code.
Worker Interview Protocols & Confidentiality SOPs
A complete SOP for worker interviews in social compliance audits: how auditors select and interview workers, how factories prepare without interfering, and the confidentiality rules that protect workers and make interview evidence credible. Covers SMETA interview methodology, room and logistics setup, and the integrity violations that turn a manageable audit into a critical failure.
