SA8000 Corporate Programs

SA8000 Corporate Programs: Companies that focus on selling goods or combine production and selling can join the SA8000 Corporate Program. Corporate Programs is a three-level program that helps companies evaluate SA8000, implement the SA8000 Standard, and report publicly on implementation progress. There are three levels of the Corporate Programs:
• Introductory (Level One): Evaluate SA8000 as an ethical sourcing tool via pilot audits.
• Explorer (Level Two): Implement SA8000 as a step-wise approach in some or all of the supply chain through certification and communicate implementation progress to stakeholders via SAI-verified public reporting.
• Signatory (Level Three): Implement SA8000 as a step-wise approach in some or all of the supply chain through certification and communicate implementation progress to stakeholders via SAI-verified public reporting.
Launched in 1999, our Corporate Programs have attracted entities representing more than $100 billion in annual revenue including such current members as Cutter & Buck, Dole, Eileen Fisher, Otto, Toys “R” Us. Program benefits include training courses for managers, suppliers and workers, technical assistance in implementing SA8000, and the right to use the SAI and SA8000 logos to communicate with stakeholders.
