Our company have been received the SMETA certification, which also a great evidence shows our factory is a advance department. Our lunch box quality can reach the standard in the world. So let me tell you how can we get that:
What is SEDEX/SMETA?
Sedex is a global non-profit membership organization. The purpose of SEDEX is to connect companies with their global suppliers, share business ethics data, and achieve continuous improvement in ethical performance. SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) is a membership organization whose members are all companies committed to continuously improving the ethical performance of their supply chain.
SEDEX members now have more than 50,000 members in more than 150 countries around the world. All SEDEX members agree to implement SMETA's audit methods and agree to upload the audit results to the SEDEX database to achieve the effect of sharing among members.
SMETA is one of the most widely used social audit responsibility processes in the world. It is also one of the globally recognized methods that can be used to evaluate the supply chain, including labor rights, health and safety, environment and business ethics. and our lunch box factory also can be used for that.
