Why do you need to carry out SA8000 certification?
It is understood that the establishment of SA8000 originated from the fact that a clothing company in the United States illegally employed child labor and forced the work to be exposed for a long time. Subsequently, some internationally renowned brands have established their own social responsibility standards. After seven years, today's SA8000 is no longer a new term in manufacturing companies in the US and Europe.

Two other textile importing countries: France and the Netherlands are also preparing to review the same standards. The same requirements are also from the United States and Italy. They have clearly requested that all Chinese textile, garment, footwear and other export enterprises must pass the SA8000 standard certification beforehand, otherwise they will cooperate with France to boycott product imports.

Because its end users are consumers all over the world, they will get a wider range when appropriate. Understanding and application, because wholesalers tend to choose to purchase goods from ethical factories in order to retain their retail customers.
