Reading through recent articles and researches you might believe that social audits are not really contributing to the remediation regarding human rights and labor abuse.
One recent article on Human Rights Watch underlines that auditors sometimes focus too much on their checklist and tools and do not concentrate on the main point namely uncovering the abuses and working on solving the issues. We should also be careful to always check ourselves and keep questioning if we are doing the right thing. The goal is not to reach a high score but to improve the situation within the supply chain.
As stated in the article social audits should never be a substitute for remediation but always support for the remediation. In this context I would also recommend reading the article below.
As always the right mix makes the difference!
