Compliance with Global Standards, Ethical Sourcing, Factory Readiness

In today’s global supply chains, Buyer Social Audits are a prerequisite for doing business with international brands and retail giants. These audits assess your factory or workplace for ethical, social, and legal compliance. Third-party auditors often conduct them on behalf of buyers from the US, Europe, or other global markets.

Our Buyer Social Audit Training is designed to prepare factories, HR teams, compliance officers, and production managers to face and pass these audits confidently. This training ensures that your business practices are aligned with international codes of conduct, such as:
