1.2. SMETA and the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code
SMETA Best Practice Guidance (SMETA BPG) describes the key steps of planning, executing and documenting
a "SMETA audit" against the following four auditing pillars:
A 2 SMETA 2-Pillar audit comprises:
l Labour Standards.
l Health & Safety.
l Additional elements of Entitlement to work; Subcontracting and homeworking; Environment
(shortened).
A SMETA 4-Pillar audit contains in addition:
l Environment (extended) – this replaces the environment (shortened version) detailed above.
l Business Practices.
SMETA BPG (this document) has been produced to give a consistent global auditing procedure that Sedex
members can share with confidence with full transparency on the standards and protocols used.
Many types of social audit are performed such as BSCI, WRAP, SA 8000, ICTI and all social audits can be
uploaded onto Sedex. It lies with the individual member to decide what audit is acceptable to them however
Sedex hopes that by providing SMETA BPG publicly, companies will increasingly converge on one international
audit protocol.
