Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a method of perfecting the audit of the social requirements of the qualitysocial accountability-health and safety integrated management system with the social requirements of Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) and Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (SEDEX). The method used was to supplement the social requirement of SA 8000:2008 standard with the additional requirements of BSCI and SEDEX. The results are based on a correspondence between the requirements of SA 8000:2008 standard and the requirements of BSCI and SEDEX codes of conducts, because some of BSCI and SEDEX requirements are more detailed than SA 8000:2008 standard requirements which are the base for the implementation of social requirements of the quality-social accountability-health and safety integrated management system. A check list was elaborated with the integrated social requirements of SA 8000:2008, BSCI and SEDEX. The check list is related to child labour, forced and compulsory labour, health and safety, freedom of association & right to collective bargaining, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, remuneration and management system. The conclusion of the paper is that the elaborated check list allows the quality-social accountability-health and safety integrated management system audit to match to the requirements of BSCI and SEDEX.
