What is a SMETA Checklist? Can someone please help.

Hey everyone, I’ve been looking into SMETA checklists, but I want to make sure I fully understand them. Could someone explain what a SMETA checklist is, what its main purpose is, and how it’s typically used in practice? Any insights or examples would be really helpful!

Sure! I’d be happy to help explain. A SMETA checklist is a structured tool used during a SMETA audit to assess a company's ethical and responsible business practices. It helps auditors and businesses systematically evaluate performance in four key areas: Labor Standards, Health and Safety, Environment, and Business Ethics. By following this checklist, organizations can ensure that all critical aspects of ethical compliance are reviewed, helping them maintain high standards and improve workplace practices.

There are a lot of companies who should fail such evaluations, since they don't care about anything but money. But they probably don't.
