Assessment & Monitoring

Companies that practice social accountability lower the risk of contributing to social and environmental harm by committing to standards that address the concerns of their stakeholders.  Effective social accountability programs are characterized by transparency, engagement with stakeholders, and a long-term, systematic approach.

The aim of social accountability audit/monitoring is to ensure that your business partners are meeting your company’s commitment to corporate social responsibility. To validate transparency, consistency and integrity, many companies rely on SGS to monitor compliance issues and provide them with the assurance they need.

In addition to basic assessments, SGS undertakes a wide range of different audits

Assessments are undertaken against a wide range of international standards, 3rd party codes and corporate requirements.

Moreover, using their global network, SGS assessments can be integrated with other monitoring requirements whether relating to quality, environmental or security requirements.
