Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit (SMETA)

The “Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit” or SMETA is one of the most commonly used methods for ethical audit. Basically, it provides a collection of best practices for ethical audits.

  • It helps auditors conduct high-quality audits that cover all aspects of responsible business practices.
  • It focuses on four main areas: Labor, Health and Safety, Environment, and Business Ethics.
  • This approach allows suppliers to share one audit with multiple customers. This reduces the need for repeated audits.

Forest Stewardship Council™

This is a nonprofit organization that sets standards for “responsible forestry practices”. The motto of this organization is to encourage environmentally friendly and socially beneficial forestry. Products like furniture can carry the FSC™ label if they meet strict standards. Red Ridge is an FSC™ certified company.

Walt Disney Certificate Fama

FAMA is focused on global counter-terrorism efforts. The United States does not allow imports from countries or regions suspected of terrorist activities. FAMA requires factories to submit proof to China Customs when shipping goods. This proof shows that their products are authorized, especially through Disney, ensuring that the factory is safe and that the products are secure. China Customs also requires this documentation to confirm that the products are safe and legally imported. This is to avoid counterfeiting of the Disney brand.
