What are the main differences between SA8000, Amfori BSCI and SEDEX SMETA?
SA8000 is a certificate. If the facility has the management system running, it has the right to receive it. Amfori BSCI and SMETA are audits with no certification after the audit is completed. Instead the facility receives an audit report including the snapshot facts of the current situation and corrective actions for the facility.
