The standard of social responsibility (SA) 8000 is the world's first international standard on environmental problems in the workplace. The standard requires employers to pay enough wages to meet their basic needs, provide a safe working environment, do not employ child labor, and do not force employees to work for more than 48 hours a week. There are other SA8000 standards for health, social freedom, discrimination, discipline practice and management.
On the basis of the current international human rights standards including the United Nations Universal Declaration of human rights and the conference on the rights of the child, with the help of the majority of industry and commerce organizations, labor organizations and human rights identification and auditing experts, the American economic priority recognition Committee (CEPAA) has formulated the SA8000 standard. The standard improves the working environment and meets the challenges posed by economic globalization.
Companies with SA8000 certification will set up a positive image in the minds of customers, employees, suppliers and consumers, and enjoy a good reputation. The standard includes the continuous improvement mechanism, the public's confidence in the products purchased, and the advantage of better labor practice in the market competition. The working environment of humanized management can also provide higher quality products to the market.
