The news of corporate corruption flying around the business world have made companies to pay more attention to enacting policies that reflect corporate social responsibility.

The fall of recognizable businesses has cautioned companies that do not pay attention to conducting their operations ethically.

This has made such companies to develop a checklist that will ensure that their actions are in line with high standards of business etiquettes.

1.   Strategy and Vision

The corporate social responsibility checklist must comprise all aspects of the company’s vision statement as well as strategic goals that will make it effective. You need to understand the social responsibility issues that are specific to your industry and the world at large.

  2. Accountability and Oversight

The compliance with social responsibility checklist must bring the bad behaviors of company leaders into oversight and ensure that the leaders are held accountable.

The checklist should determine if the factory in question has any department that’s in charge of tracking CSR behaviors and reporting all violations to the authorities concerned.

3.   Risk Identification

Although all businesses encounter different kinds of risks, the compliance with social responsibility checklist will go a long way in helping the factories to determine if the level of risk encountered while making a decision aligns with the traditional business ethics.

The checklist must pinpoint risks to the factory’s ethical practices in its policies as well as actions. The factory audit of social responsibility must be factored into a factory’s decisions on business risks. It must also get rid of potential ethical problems.Compliance for a new factory or an existing factory not only calls for knowledge but also requires enormous efforts on the administrative front.

Effective monitoring system should be in place to ensure the voluminous compliance activities are carried out on time. All these efforts are essential to maintain a congenial IR climate apart from compliance and governance.

What is a Factory Audit?

A factory audit is a formalized process to evaluate if a vendor or supplier conforms with regulations or required business standards. The purpose is to ensure that the supplier delivers quality services and products. Quality managers usually perform factory audits, and they evaluate the supplier’s production processes, organization, and quality management system.

Types of Factory Audits

A factory audit is a tailor-made program aimed at assessing a facility’s quality systems, workplace environment and capabilities in accordance with standards set by the client or CDG. It ensures that your vendors and suppliers are able to undertake a specific order as per your requirements.
