Social Impact Assessment
The Social Impact Assessment is an assessment that companies can use to measure the effectiveness of the management systems in place safeguarding worker safety and workplace conditions.
It is a non-category-specific self-assessment tool designed to verify a company's capability to manage labor standards in their facility or in their supply chain depending on the type of company: direct manufacturer, or vendor.
