For companies operating within complex supply chains, ensuring compliance with social and ethical standards is paramount. The <strong>Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA)<\/strong> has emerged as one of the world&#8217;s most widely used social audit methodologies, providing a framework for assessing working conditions, health and safety, environmental performance, and business ethics.<\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\">A SMETA audit is not merely a pass\/fail exercise. It is a collaborative process designed to identify areas for improvement and drive positive change. When non-compliances are identified, a Corrective Action Plan Report (CAPR) is created, outlining the steps required to address the issues within a specified timeframe.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">From Regulation to Practice: <br \/>How SMETA Supports Supply Chain Due Diligence<\/h2><p>Across multiple jurisdictions, companies are now subject to mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence requirements. These regulations require organisations to demonstrate that effective, risk-based systems are in place to identify, prevent, mitigate, and address adverse impacts within their supply chains. In this context, SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is commonly used as a voluntary due diligence tool to support supplier risk identification and monitoring.<\/p><ul><li><strong>EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)<\/strong> \u2013 Requires large companies to identify and address human rights and environmental impacts across their value chains<\/li><li><strong>UK Modern Slavery Act 2015<\/strong> \u2013 Requires transparency on actions taken to prevent forced labour and human trafficking<\/li><li><strong>German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act (LkSG)<\/strong> \u2013 Requires structured human rights and environmental risk management systems<\/li><li><strong>France\u2019s Duty of Vigilance Law<\/strong> \u2013 Requires companies to implement vigilance plans covering human rights and environmental risks<\/li><li><strong>California Garment Worker Protection Act (SB-62)<\/strong> \u2013 Strengthens accountability for labour practices and enforcement of supplier codes of conduct<\/li><\/ul><p>SMETA\u2014particularly 2-pillar audits (Labour Standards and Health &amp; Safety) and 4-pillar audits (including Environment and Business Ethics) can support both social and environmental due diligence, when findings are integrated into governance, remediation, and monitoring processes.<\/p><h3>Common SMETA Non-Compliances<\/h3><p>Based on audit data and industry reports, a number of recurring non-compliances are frequently identified during SMETA audits.
