International management system: SA8000 on social accountability

SA8000, or Social Accountability 8000, is a global applied management system for companies seeking to guarantee the basic rights of their workers. SA8000 provides a voluntary workplace certification and is mainly used by Western companies ensuring their whole supply chain operates on a minimum of social standards. The system provides social standards that are applicable to all industries and is based on the international accepted ILO Conventions as well as requirements for a management system which ensures the implementation of these standards in business policy. The impact of this management system is growing and therefore companies should know if this standard is requested by EU market parties or whether it could be a market opportunity Publication date: September, 2008 Obtain International management system: SA8000 on social accountability Pages: 3 Size: 89 Kb Download time: 2 Sec (at 56k6) Obtain document Get Acrobat Reader Relevant Market Sectors Agricultural, fishery and forestry, Automotive parts, Business Process Outsourcing, Castings and Forgings, Coffee, tea and cocoa, Consumer products, Cut flowers and foliage, Engineering products, Engineering services, Fasteners and builders' hardware, Fishery products, Food ingredients, Footwear, Fresh Fruit and Vegetables, Furniture, Garments, Gifts and decorative items, Hand and power tools, Home textiles, Honey, beewax and sugars, Household utensils, Industrial products, IT Outsourcing services, Jewellery, Leather goods, Medical and laboratory equipment, Natural colours, flavours and thickeners, Natural ingredients for cosmetics, Natural ingredients for pharmaceuticals, Natural stone products, Organic food products, Paints and Coatings, Personal Protective Equipment, Plants and young plant material, Preserved Fruit and Vegetables, Processed fruits, vegetables and nuts, Rice and pulses, Sanitary ware and ceramic tiles, Services, Spices and Herbs, Sports and camping goods, Stationery, office and school supplies, Timber and timber products, Tourism, Toys and games, Vegetable oils and fats
