The SA 8000:2001 second issue of the standard has been developed by Social
Accountability International (SAI) and Council on Economic Priorities
Accreditation Agency (CEPAA). Being relatively a new standard, it is
slowly getting proliferated into the industry and service sector and
receiving appreciable response.
Private/Public sector companies and contractors across many
industrial/service sectors would generally like to earn public confidence
and client approval for their national and/or international markets.
Certification under SA 8000 standard and required documentation for the
standard provides companies opportunity to independently verify their own
social record and also that of their contractors.
