The SA8000 Standard is a globally recognised framework for social accountability. This rigorous certification is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Labour Organisation conventions, and national laws, setting a high bar for responsible practices in the workplace. Unlike traditional auditing methods, SA8000 goes beyond a simple checklist by fostering continual improvement in areas like:
- Child Labour and Forced Labour: Ensuring ethical hiring practices.
- Health & Safety: Prioritising safe, compliant work environments.
- Fair Remuneration and Working Hours: Committing to fair wages and reasonable working conditions.
- Freedom of Association: Supporting workers’ rights to form and join unions.
The SA8000 certification reinforces our dedication to providing fair, safe, and empowering workplaces across our entire supply chain.
In addition to SA8000, Winaico has secured OHSAS18001 certification, an internationally recognised standard that underscores our commitment to occupational health and safety. This standard focuses on injury prevention, risk assessment, and a proactive approach to workplace safety—protecting our workforce, partners, and the communities we serve.
