FAQ
Social Compliance FAQs
Why is social compliance important for sourcing from India?
Major retailers and brands require suppliers to meet ethical standards. Compliance audits protect your brand reputation, ensure supply chain transparency, and help avoid legal and PR risks associated with labor violations.
What does a social compliance audit cover?
Audits typically assess child labor policies, working hours, wages and benefits, health and safety conditions, environmental practices, management systems, and workers' rights to organize.
Can you help suppliers get certified?
Yes. We provide pre-audit assessments, gap analysis, and improvement recommendations to help suppliers prepare for certification audits. We also support corrective action implementation.
How often should compliance audits be conducted?
Most certification bodies require annual audits. However, we recommend initial pre-assessments before placing orders and follow-up audits if corrective actions are needed.
Do you support UK Modern Slavery Act and EU CSDDD due-diligence requirements?
Yes. We help UK importers meet Modern Slavery Act 2015 reporting obligations and prepare EU buyers for the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and Germany's LkSG (Supply Chain Due Diligence Act) through documented supplier mapping, risk assessments, and remediation evidence.
Can you arrange CE, UKCA and EU REACH/GPSR compliance for products from India?
Yes. We coordinate technical file preparation, EN-standard testing through accredited Indian and UK/EU labs, REACH SVHC screening, and GPSR (General Product Safety Regulation) documentation so goods clear UK and EU customs without delay.
Which audit standards are recognised by Australian and UK retailers?
Australian and UK buyers (Coles, Woolworths, Tesco, M&S, Sainsbury's, John Lewis) typically require SEDEX SMETA 4-pillar, BSCI, or SA8000 audits. We arrange all three through accredited third-party bodies and manage the SEDEX platform on your behalf.
How do you verify environmental compliance for textile and chemical exports to the EU?
We audit ZDHC MRSL conformance, GOTS/OEKO-TEX certification chain of custody, and EU REACH Annex XVII restricted substances. Test reports are issued by ISO 17025 accredited labs and are accepted by EU customs and brand compliance teams.
