Ensuring social compliance from field to fork in the U.K.
No matter if you are a food manufacturer, supplier or retailer in the UK, ethical compliance should play a significant role in your business, in response both to the UK Modern Slavery Act and consumers’ high expectations on corporate compliant behaviour.
SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) by Sedex is one of the most common tools to assess and understand suppliers’ performance on social compliance and ethics. It provides both buyers and suppliers with a standard audit and reporting protocol to drive ethical and responsible business practices in global supply chains.
On 14th March, Eurofins Assurance is glad to bring a one-hour webinar with experts from Sedex to food, feed, agriculture and relevant industry in the U.K. on this important subject. Don't miss the session if you are keen to get more details!
