A Social Audit evaluates a company’s performance regarding labor standards, worker welfare, human rights, and workplace ethics. It assesses whether an organization upholds fair working conditions, equitable wages, reasonable working hours, and non-discriminatory practices. The underlying logic is that sustainable business growth requires ethical treatment of human capital, ensuring that profitability does not come at the expense of worker exploitation. During an audit, independent assessors review payroll records, conduct confidential worker interviews, and inspect facilities to verify compliance with local labor laws and international human rights conventions.
