OCCS social compliance audits are performed following a general framework based on ILO conventions, country laws and Social Accountability 8000 standards:
Child labor
Forced labor
Discrimination
Freedom of association and right to bargain
Health and safety conditions of workplace
Working hours
Compensation
Environmental issues
Apart from these items, we can also follow the standards or guidelines given by the client.
Upon our visit to the production unit, we prepare an audit finding summary which will define the practices of social accountability. If required by the client, we can also prepare a Corrective Action Plan which will help the production unit to understand and implement necessary required actions.
OCCS’ social monitoring solutions are aimed to guide our clients to achieve their compliance goals and implement their code of conduct requirements through independent monitoring.
