SMETA (SEDEX)
SMETA (SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audits) is a common audit methodology and report format compiling best practices in ethical trade audit techniques. Many retailers and brands are currently requesting their suppliers globally to carry out a SMETA audit in order to prove that ethical trading is taking place. The scope of a SMETA audit incorporates both the ETI Base Code and other key ethical related requirements. These include Sub-Contracting, Home Working, Entitlement to Work and Environment.
Benefits of SMETA
SMETA is designed to benefit retailers, consumer brands, and their suppliers, reducing duplication of effort in ethical trade auditing. Companies who are not members of Sedex are able and encouraged to use SMETA as well.

- A common best practice guidance on conducting ethical trade audits
- A common audit report format
- A common corrective action plan format
