What is SA 8000? SA 8000 (Social Accountability 8000) is the first internationally recognized certification for social responsibility. Its primary objective is to guarantee workers' rights, creating a win-win situation for companies, workers, trade unions, and the government.

History of SA 8000: The SA 8000 standard was launched in 1997 by CEPAA – Council on Economic Priorities Accreditation Agency, later renamed to SAI – Social Accountability International. SA 8000 is the first global standard for corporate social responsibility. SA certification is based on international human rights conventions such as the International Labour Organization, the International Declaration of Human Rights, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It aims to ensure the basic rights of workers involved in the production processes while complying with relevant local legislation.

• Prohibition of child labor

• Assurance of health and safety
• Guarantee of freedom to organize and collective bargaining
• Prohibition of discrimination
