Ethical Toolkit
The Ethical Toolkit is designed to be a helpful, self-assessment, and pre-requisite, to an Ethical Audit.
An Ethical Audit is an examination or inspection for processes, or systems within a business, to ensure compliance with ethics-related requirements. Most importantly, an Ethical Audit is used to ensure the company or organisation is operating with decent working conditions and human rights throughout the supply chain. In addition to complying with statutory requirements, improving brand image, increasing customer loyalty, and many more benefits.
Our Ethical Toolkit will give you an understanding of how the Audit will be executed, and what to expect during the auditing process.
The toolkit includes the following sections:
Environment
Employment is Freely Chosen
Working Hours
Safe & Hygienic Conditions
Business Ethics
Regular Employment
Freedom of Association
Harsh or Inhumane Treatment
Land Rights
Child Labour
Living Wages
Discrimination
The many benefits of the Ethical Toolkit include:
Highlighting of areas of your social and ethical system/policies that may need improvement.
Understand the reason behind the questions and how they link to ILO and UN Conventions
Ability to assess your business and genuinely test how ethical it is.
Being able to prepare for an ethical audit and make improvements where necessary before it happens, reducing the potential cost of a re-audit.
Opening of doors for new business where the rest of the supply chain requires you to be an ethical business/site.
Demonstrate areas of weakness that require improvement such as policies or procedures that address social compliance.
Supports the development of Social Management Systems.
