Sumerra is an international audit company that ensures safe working conditions, workers’ rights and environmental stewardship by focusing on the needs of brands, factories and licensees striving to improve working conditions around the globe, according to the company.
Three main parts comprise the audit: a detailed tour of the facility; an in-depth review of working hours for 15 sampled workers; and a review of factory records and interview with 15 sampled workers.
Additionally, the audit guarantees companies will comply with all domestic rules and certain U.S. law requirements, touching on employees’ health, safety and working conditions.
