SA8000 Social Accountability Audits

Building Responsible Workplaces

through International Social Accountability Standards

Responsible business begins with respect for people. Organizations are increasingly expected to demonstrate ethical employment practices, protect workers’ rights, and promote safe, fair, and inclusive workplaces throughout their operations and supply chains.

LSQA provides professional SA8000 assessment and conformity services to help organizations strengthen social accountability and demonstrate their commitment to internationally recognized labor and human rights principles.

SA8000 is one of the world’s leading social accountability standards, providing a comprehensive framework for managing workplace conditions based on internationally recognized human rights conventions, International Labour Organization (ILO) principles, and applicable national legislation.

The standard establishes requirements covering child labor, forced labor, health and safety, freedom of association, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours, remuneration, and management systems to ensure organizations operate responsibly while protecting the rights and wellbeing of workers.

Implementing SA8000 enables organizations to strengthen ethical governance, improve working conditions, enhance supply chain transparency, reduce social compliance risks, and build lasting confidence among customers, employees, investors, and other stakeholders.

Applicable across manufacturing, agriculture, services, logistics, healthcare, and other industries, SA8000 demonstrates an organization’s commitment to responsible business practices and continual social improvement.
