BTE Social Auditing

BTE believe that follow up audits are needed

BTE believes that factory audits should be:

  • Transparent
  • Participative
  • Help to build trust and relationships in the supply chain
  • A platform for driving improvements

We can provide audits for:

  • Industry practices
  • Government regulations
  • Buyers specifications (ETI or Codes of Conduct)
  • A key issue for successful auditing is communication with workers and management; planning with not imposing on improvement plans.
  • The standard audits cost (INR 25 500) £300 per visit plus VAT and expenses incurred.
