Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA)

Strengthening Ethical Business Through Independent Social Compliance Audits

Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA)

Today’s global supply chains demand more than product quality—they require responsible business practices, ethical labor standards, environmental responsibility, and transparent governance. LSQA delivers professional SMETA audit services that help organizations demonstrate their commitment to ethical sourcing, responsible operations, and sustainable business practices.

SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is one of the world’s most widely recognized social auditing methodologies. Developed by Sedex, SMETA provides a standardized approach for assessing working conditions, labor practices, health and safety, environmental management, and business ethics throughout the supply chain.

LSQA conducts independent SMETA assessments using experienced social compliance auditors who evaluate organizations against internationally recognized ethical trade principles, applicable legislation, and customer requirements. Our audits provide valuable insight into organizational performance while supporting continual improvement and supply chain transparency.
