Social Audits That Add-Value:

While the world of social auditing continues to be scrutinized for its shortcomings, many of which are valid, the audit industry continues to grow. The truth is that auditing and measurement are here to stay and are important to both due diligence and creating a program that drives improvement on the ground.

Learn high-impact tips from two “Pro’s” that helped to build the current social auditing landscape over the past 20 years. James McMichael (Former founding partner of Elevate and Managing Partner of Mosaic RSR) and Andre Raghu (Former President of Global Sustainability Services, Intertek and Founder of HAP) will provide detailed guidance that will help you navigate audit firm selection, certification programs, integrity red flags, reporting and corrective action plan management.

Due Diligence and Remediation:

Social audit programs and reporting that don’t prompt, support, and drive action on the ground have little value. Corrective action management and supplier engagement are a hugely critical component to any legitimate social compliance program.

However, this link in the chain is often the most neglected from a time and budget perspective. Learn from a “Pro” Mark Fox (former Amazon program manager, factory consultant and technical content lead at Mosaic RSR), about the fundamentals necessary to ensure that audit findings turn into sustainable improvement action plans. Topics to be covered include: reporting, action plan follow-up, when and how to verify that action, root cause analysis, the role of workers, and tracking improvements.
