Yes, for international export markets like United States, we work through a hybrid model. We use secure online document portals and video conferencing to perform gap reviews and draft manuals, and we coordinate with local registrars in United States to ensure your final check-up is successfully completed.
No. Sedex is the membership platform, similar to an account where your ethical trade data lives. SMETA is the external check report that goes into that account. You need Sedex registration first, followed by a SMETA external check. Buyers can see both, and we handle both.
A certificate gives you an official certificate (like ISO 9001). An check-up is a check-up: someone inspects your manufacturing unit and writes a report. Some standards like SMETA only give you an check-up report, not a certificate. Both are important for winning buyer trust.
