Why it matters: third-party workplace review beyond a supplier statement
SMETA is Sedex’s social-audit methodology. An audit examines a workplace through site assessment, record review and worker interviews, producing findings that buyers can use in supplier due diligence.
This independent record supports onboarding and follow-up. Buyers also need the Corrective Action Plan Report (CAPR) and current verification status to understand how findings are addressed. SMETA is an audit methodology rather than a certification or a pass-or-fail test.
Value for sourcing teams
Evidence for supplier onboarding
Review labour and workplace health-and-safety records alongside material specifications as part of responsible sourcing.
A defined review scope
The available record is a two-pillar audit, principally covering labour, health and safety. It does not establish completion of a full four-pillar audit.
A path for corrective-action review
Use audit findings, the CAPR and verification records to identify follow-up needs and supplier onboarding conditions.
