Social Accountability

Social accountability refers to the ethical obligation of a company to ensure that its business practices are socially responsible, particularly in relation to working conditions and human rights. This responsibility extends beyond the company itself to its entire supply chain, requiring businesses to ensure that their suppliers pay fair wages, avoid child labor, and provide safe working environments.A key part of social accountability is adhering to standards like SA8000, which ensure that ethical practices are applied throughout the supply chain. Ensuring social accountability can be challenging for companies, especially in global supply chains where legal standards vary.
