“Social Accountability International has established one of the world’s preeminent social standards – the SA8000 Standard for decent work, a tool for implementing international labor standards – that has improved the lives of over a million workers. SA8000 guides employers to consider the importance of each job and to recognize the equal dignity of each person involved in the supply chain – from the worker to the retailer to the consumer. The SA8000 Standard leverages the power of business and consumer to purchase products made from workplaces that enrich, not denigrate, the livelihoods of people.”
