About the data

history edit build
Audits represent a snapshot in time at a particular supplier facility and can help companies understand if suppliers are complying with their labour and environmental standards. Audits can be used to monitor ongoing compliance with a company's standards where risks are deemed high and issues have been raised. Having a trade union representative present during the audit process helps ensure that workers' voice is considered during the due diligence process and effective remedy is actioned.
