Social Compliance Audit
A social compliance audit, sometimes referred to as a social audit, is a useful tool for figuring out whether a business is abiding by socially responsible standards.
What is a Social Compliance Audit/Ethical Audit?
In order to be considered socially compliant, a company must safeguard not just the lives and communities of the workers in its supply chain and distribution network but also the health and safety of its employees, the community in which it works, and the environment. Social compliance also describes the view of corporate social responsibility held by a corporation (CSR).
A facility social compliance audit verifies and certifies that the facility complies with local legislation as well as the established requirements for employee mobility, fair compensation, and health and safety.

A facility social compliance audit verifies and certifies that the facility complies with local legislation as well as the established requirements for employee mobility, fair compensation, and health and safety.
The social compliance auditors interview employees, who are chosen at random, in order to learn more about their working conditions and, if they live at the facilities, their living situations. Employees should have the option to bring up any unfair treatment or grievances that may need to be investigated during voluntary, private interviews. The auditors interrogate the workers about thing including their comprehension of the disciplinary procedures used by their employers, their understanding of the work hours and conditions, and their tenure of employment. The auditors of social compliance gather proof.
