We are proud to be one of the few companies in our region to have successfully passed the rigorous SMETA audit conducted by SEDEX. The SMETA audit is the most widely used social audit standard in the world.<\/p>\n

The audit comprehensively evaluates ethical practices, working conditions, occupational health and safety, environmental impact, and business ethics within supply chains. Its goal is to help companies demonstrate responsible conduct, increase transparency, and mitigate potential risks.<\/p>\n

The audit focuses on four key pillars:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Labor standards<\/li>\n
  • Health and safety<\/li>\n
  • Environment<\/li>\n
  • Business ethics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n


    It is based on the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Code, International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, and local legal requirements.<\/p>\n

    Successfully passing the audit is a major achievement for us and reaffirms our commitment to responsible business practices. This certification enables us to better demonstrate our ethical and sustainable practices throughout the entire supply chain.<\/p>\n

    At Lesaffre Czech Republic, we are proud to be a company that values \u200b\u200btransparency and a responsible approach to business. The SMETA audit serves as a vital tool for us to further develop and strengthen this philosophy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
