SA 8000
SA8000 support that looks honestly at how your workplace actually operates.
We help assess your labour practices, health and safety conditions and management systems against SA8000 requirements, and prepare you for certification.
What is SA 8000?
SA8000 is an international social-accountability standard covering labour conditions — including child labour, forced labour, health and safety, freedom of association, working hours, compensation and non-discrimination — along with the management systems needed to sustain compliance.
It's increasingly required by global brands and buyers as part of ethical sourcing and supply-chain due diligence, particularly in manufacturing, garments and export-oriented industries.
Certification is issued by an independent accredited certification body. Gurur Consultancy helps you conduct an honest internal assessment against SA8000's requirements, build the required policies and management-system documentation, and prepare for the audit.
