Creating an Effective SMETA Audit Checklist for Optimal Audit Results


A SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) is an international audit method used to assess ethical trade practices in global supply chains. The main reason why SMETA was developed is to enable suppliers to share valuable information about ethical practices and reduce the number of duplicate audits, to save time and money.


A SMETA audit brings together good practices of a technical audit. The advantage of performing a SMETA audit is that it gives you the possibility to perform an audit and share it with third parties, such as suppliers or customers, instead of having to perform individual audits for each of them. There are four main elements of SMETA and they are divided into the following topics:


  • Health and safety
  • Labour standards
  • Environment
  • Commercial ethics

    • The SMETA audit checklist covers both the facility and the workers and provides a complete assessment of the supplier’s operations. The results of the audit are used to create an action plan to address any issues identified in the audit. This audit helps companies to ensure that their suppliers are meeting their ethical trade standards and provides a level of accountability.

    Please note that this checklist template is a hypothetical appuses-hero example and provides only standard information. The template does not aim to replace, among other things, workplace, health and safety advice, medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or any other applicable law. You should seek your professional advice to determine whether the use of such a checklist is appropriate in your workplace or jurisdiction.
