最近一段時間,有好多 Walmart (沃爾瑪)的客戶陸續收到了一封有關沃爾瑪社會責任審核政策變更的通知郵件,紛紛來來超網詢問是否對其正常審核以及標準有影響。下面,我們一起來解讀下郵件內容:
Please note that starting Feb 1st of next year, all our factories will have to begin to use APSCA-registered auditors for RS audit going forward and no change for 8 audit programs.
Important Announcement:
Beginning February 1, 2019, Walmart will require that audit reports used to satisfy Walmarts Responsible Sourcing audit requirements be conducted by an APSCA-registered auditor. In the future, Walmart plans to only accept audits conducted by APSCA Certified Social Compliance Auditors; we will let you know when APSCA certification becomes a requirement. Information about APSCA can be found here.
https://www.theapsca.org/
Suppliers are required to ensure that begining February 1, 2019, audits of their facilities are conducted by an APSCA member audit firm and auditor conducting the audit is registered with APSCA.
郵件的中文翻譯就是:
請注意從明年的2月1日開始,所有我們的工廠將采用APSCA注冊的審核員來進行社會責任審核,并且認可的八大項目沒有變更。
重要通知:
自2019年2月1日起,沃爾瑪將要求所有提交給沃爾瑪用于滿足其責任采購審核要求的報告由APSCA登記的審核員完成。將來,沃爾瑪計劃只接受APSCA驗廠的審核員執行的審核;我們也將通知什么時候會要求具備APSCA證。關于APSCA的信息可以從這里獲取。
參考網站:https://www.theapsca.org/
供應商需要確保從2019年2月1日起,所有審核應由成為APSCA會員的審核機構進行,且執行審核的審核員應為APSCA登記的審核員。
APSCA (The Association of ProfessionalSocial Compliance Auditors)它是專業社會責任審核員協會,在2016年成立,并由IFIA委員會監督,是為了提高審核員與審核機構審核的專業性、一致性和可信度而成立的專業性協會組織。
從2019年2月1日起,沃爾瑪供應商在聯系第三方進行社會責任審核時,要明確告知給審核方是需要提交報告給沃爾瑪的,這樣審核公司會安排符合資格的審核員來進行審核。因為,審核機構成為APSCA的會員,不代表該審核機構的所有審核員都自動成為APSCA登記的審核員。
