What is SA 8000:2014 Certification?
SA 8000:2014 is an internationally recognized social accountability standard that defines requirements for ethical treatment of workers based on International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions and human rights principles. It addresses critical workplace issues including child labor prohibition, forced labor elimination, health and safety standards, freedom of association, discrimination prevention, disciplinary practices, working hours, and fair compensation. This certification ensures organizations implement management systems that protect employee rights and dignity across operations and supply chains.
The standard requires systematic monitoring, grievance mechanisms, corrective action procedures, and stakeholder engagement to maintain ethical workplace conditions. Organizations certified under SA 8000:2014 demonstrate their commitment to corporate social responsibility, worker welfare, and transparent labor practices, building trust with consumers, investors, and business partners who prioritize ethical sourcing and sustainable business operations.
