#SEDEX documents
Note
hi ! im wondering what exactly you mean by ethical labor and materials? i have no doubt the best has been done to reduce exploitation and harm, but everyone has a different definiion of ethical, so i'd love details ! (maybe you precised it somewhere already if that's the case sorry)
our skirts are made in a factory with SEDEX (supplier ethical data exchange) and OEKO-TEX standard 100 certifications. the former certifies ethical labor practices (proper wages, clean working environments, documented proper hours, health professionals on staff, etc) and the latter certifies responsible textile production (proper disposal of waste material, a commitment to minimizing waste, a properly investigated supply chain that ensures everything from the dyes, elastic, and other materials are made ethically).
as a small business we do not have the infrastructure or funds to launch audits of the manufacturers we work with, and even for larger companies running investigations all the way up the supply chain to track things like the production of buttons, hooks and eyes, and other fixings is extremely difficult and expensive, so certifications like this are invaluable to us.

SEDEX Certification – Key steps for implementation SEDEX
The supply chain is one of the most important links when a business depends on outsourcing. It becomes quite necessary to ensure that the supplier with whom we are partnering is functioning in an ethical manner. A standardized framework hence becomes one of the most effective ways to monitor functioning at the supplier’s site and also helps build a transparent supply chain. Let us get a deeper understanding of what SEDEX is.
SEDEX: An Overview
SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange) is a global non-profit organization that enables businesses to work together to better manage their social and environmental performance, and improve working conditions throughout the supply chain globally.
Founded in 2001 by a group of retailers, it aims to simplify the path burdening the suppliers by providing a web-based database, which enables suppliers to share ethical data, such as ethical audit reports, with their customers. Likewise, customers can keep track of their suppliers and view the ethical reports shared with them.
For a standardized framework of audits, SEDEX uses its own social auditing methodology named SMETA (SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audit). SMETA enables businesses to assess their sites and suppliers to understand working conditions in their supply chain. During an audit the site is assessed based on the organization’s standards of labor, health and safety, environment and business ethics. These 4 factors are considered the foundational elements of SEDEX.
There are 2 types of audits one can opt for under SMETA: 2 Pillar Audit & 4 Pillar Audit
A SMETA-2 Pillar Audit comprises of
Labour Standards
Health and Safety
A SMETA-4 Pillar audit comprises of
Labour Standards
Health and Safety
Environment Ethics (detailed)
Business Ethics
All four pillars count on legal requirements, international standards and good practice. The added 2 pillars may not be required by all, hence it is very crucial for the auditors to know when these additional modules are required.
There are 3 categories of SEDEX memberships which one can opt for, based on their functioning:

CSR Solutions is one solution to all your audit problems
What is the difference between Sedex and SMETA?
The name of the organization is Sedex, and the name of the audit methodology is SMETA.
The Supplier Ethical Data Exchange (Sedex) is a membership-based non-profit that leads efforts with buyers and suppliers to develop responsible and ethical business practices in global supply chains.
What is the difference between SEDEX and SMETA
The audit approach devised by the Sedex membership, SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit), is a compendium of good practice in ethical audit techniques. Instead of doing separate audits for each customer, a supplier can conduct one audit and share data with many customers using SMETA.
Licensed auditors in accordance with current best practices
SMETA was created to provide guidelines for both 2-Pillar and 4-Pillar audits, allowing supply chains to tailor their audits to their specific needs. The guidelines can be used to conduct audits against a variety of other labor codes based on the International Labour Organization's conventions (ILO).
How SMETA may help your company
Our highly qualified auditors conduct on-site observations, interviews with facility management and personnel, review facility documentation, and deliver their findings in a SMETA Audit Report. Our experts can develop a SMETA Corrective Action Plan Report (CAPR) based on the audit report, describing the modifications that the facility must do to attain compliance, and will assist:
• Reduce audit fatigue by establishing a universally understood audit format.
• Motivate employees while increasing workplace efficiency
• Improve existing ethical trading programs
• Respond to questions about ethical performance from non-government organizations and customers
Consumers will be able to better understand how supply chains are working, as well as notice and respond to change opportunities, thanks to the CSR Solution. SEDEX members developed SMETA, a centralized audit system that can be safely shared (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit). Using CSR Solutions, businesses can more easily communicate with a variety of clients.
We want to provide people, businesses, and communities with the tools they need to thrive, achieve long-term, responsible, and sustainable development, manage multi-tier data more effectively, and comply with relevant Corporate Social Responsibility guidelines. The core of our business centers on the knowledge that we create for our clients. We continue to strengthen our name as an expert body in the standard domain.
We have served a number of clients in these and other industry domains, ranging from Garment and Textile, Handicraft, Pharmaceuticals, paper products, leather industries, Jewelry, S.S Cutlery & Utensils to Rubber Products, Sports goods, Micro Knits (socks, etc.), Hardware Articles, Footwear, Glass Products, Coir Products.

saiba como montar sua estratégia
https://www.publicidadecampinas.com.br/saiba-como-montar-sua-estrategia/
O remarketing ou retargeting — como também é conhecido — é uma estratégia utilizada no marketing digital para atrair novamente para o seu e-commerce pessoas que entraram no site com interesse em algum produto ou serviço, mas não finalizaram a compra. Quando essa tática é utilizada, anúncios de sua loja, referentes ao produto que foi pesquisado, aparecem nas páginas da internet que o usuário está visitando. Os anúncios podem aparecer em redes sociais, motores de buscas, portais de notícias, blogs ou e-mails, dependendo da estratégia a ser utilizada pelo anunciante. O remarketing é importante para o aumento das vendas do e-commerce, para o crescimento da taxa de recompra, para diminuir o custo por aquisição de clientes (CAC) e para reduzir o abandono dos carrinhos de compra. Mas para surtir os resultados necessários, é preciso criar uma estratégia eficiente. Conheça o perfil do seu público Para uma boa estratégia de remarketing, é imprescindível conhecer o perfil de seu público. Somente assim, você será capaz de criar campanhas efetivas, que estejam de acordo com os interesses das pessoas que visitam o seu site. Isso porque os anúncios devem ser criados baseados no comportamento de compra e nas preferências dos consumidores. Mas como fazer isso? Bom, primeiro você precisa descobrir quem é o seu público, onde ele mora, quanto ele gasta por mês em compras, qual é a sua influência no poder de decisão de compra da família, a sua renda, a sua idade, o seu gênero etc. Vale lembrar que muitos dos visitantes que acessam uma loja virtual e saem sem comprar são clientes. Então, cruze informações desse público no banco de dados da loja para conhecê-lo melhor. Veja um exemplo: um cliente andou pesquisando um iPhone 8 em sua loja. Mas vamos combinar que um aparelho desses não tem um custo baixo e é voltado para pessoas com um poder aquisitivo mais alto. Então, não vai adiantar muito anunciar esse produto para esse cliente em questão, se em seu histórico de compra constam aparelhos com um valor mais modesto. Nesse caso, é melhor anunciar um produto que esteja de acordo com o seu perfil, como um aparelho da mesma marca, mas de um modelo mais antigo, que tem um custo menor ou, então, um bom celular, mas com um valor próximo aos que ele já está acostumado a comprar na loja. Entenda as causas da desistência De acordo com dados divulgados pela 3ª Pesquisa Nacional do Varejo Online, realizada pelo E-Commerce Brasil e Sebrae Nacional, o número de conversões média nas lojas virtuais brasileiras é de apenas 1,5%. Esses dados são alarmantes e, ao mesmo tempo, mostram como o e-commerce pode crescer, pois ele tem um nicho muito grande para ser explorado. No entanto, é preciso descobrir quais são as causas da desistência dos clientes em comprar da sua loja. As pessoas desistem de uma compra no meio do caminho por diversos fatores. Uma pessoa que entra no site, pesquisa diversos produtos e sai sem comprar tem um objetivo diferente do que aquela que fez todo o processo de compra, mas abandonou o carrinho na última etapa do processo. A primeira pode estar apenas pesquisando os melhores preços e condições de pagamento ou procurando um produto específico. A segunda já pode ter desistido por causa de falta de informações em relação ao frete ou aos prazos de entrega. Além dessas, outras razões que levam o cliente a não finalizar a compra podem ser: o excesso de burocracia, o fato de o site não salvar as informações do cliente e ele precisar fornecer seus dados sempre que for comprar na loja, uma navegabilidade ruim e o valor das taxas de juros nas compras parceladas. Como entender os motivos de abandono de carrinhos de compra Como falamos no tópico acima, apesar de o fato do número de conversões serem baixas, esse fator é uma grande oportunidade para você reverter o quadro e aumentar o ticket médio de sua loja. Mas, primeiro, você precisa implantar estratégias para colher informações sobre os motivos da desistência do cliente em relação à compra. Uma boa opção para identificar o problema é criar um formulário perguntando ao cliente o porquê da desistência e criar campanhas de remarketing com base nas informações coletadas. Se o motivo do abandono do carrinho for o valor do frete, a loja pode oferecer um desconto ou enviar o produto gratuitamente se o cliente comprar em determinado prazo. Se for o prazo de entrega, você pode oferecer ao consumidor o produto dentro de um prazo menor, mas por Sedex. No entanto, ele precisa estar ciente que esse modo de envio tem um custo mais alto. Se ele estiver com urgência do produto, talvez valha a pena pagar um pouco mais caro para receber a sua compra em um prazo menor. Claro que uma grande parte dos seus potenciais clientes não vai responder seu questionário sobre os motivos de desistir de comprar. E então, você terá que lançar mão de outras estratégias, como observar o comportamento do consumidor dentro do site. Por meio do Google Analytics, é possível observar o tempo de permanência dos visitantes em seu e-commerce. Se as pessoas não permanecem muito tempo em sua loja, a navegabilidade do site pode ser ruim. Mas se a maior parte das desistências acontece na hora de concluir a compra, a razão pode estar relacionada ao valor dos juros de parcelamento, prazo de entrega e valor do frete. Observar essas questões é de suma importância para criar campanhas de remarketing personalizadas, que deem retorno para o seu negócio. Selecione os canais de remarketing Outro passo importante para criar campanhas de remarketing efetivas é escolher os canais de comunicação corretos. Caso contrário, você vai investir o seu dinheiro e não terá os resultados esperados. Veja algumas mídias que podem ser usadas para atrair os consumidores de volta para a sua loja virtual. Google O Google é um canal de comunicação bastante completo e eficiente, pois permite o alcance dos consumidores em todas as etapas de compra. Para criar uma campanha, você precisa da ajuda de especialistas no assunto, pois é necessário inserir uma tag de remarketing em seu e-commerce. Por meio dessa tag, o Google segmenta a visualização dos anúncios, com base nas listas de remarketing já criadas. Então, as campanhas só serão visualizadas por pessoas que já acessaram a sua loja virtual. Facebook O Facebook é, sem dúvida, a maior rede social do mundo e, somente no Brasil, são mais de 100 milhões de usuários. Com ele, as suas campanhas de remarketing têm grandes chances de dar certo, pois o alcance é muito enorme. Além disso, a forma que os anúncios são exibidos é um fator positivo para as propagandas. Isso porque, no Facebook, as campanhas são exibidas da mesma forma que os anúncios tradicionais, o que torna a propaganda menos invasiva. É claro que o usuário percebe que o anúncio é referente a um produto que ele estava pesquisando, mas a propaganda não incomoda tanto como um banner enorme em um blog, por exemplo. Instagram Pertencente ao grupo Facebook, o Instagram já atingiu a marca de mais de 50 milhões de usuários no Brasil. Esse fator torna a rede social bastante atrativa para campanhas de remarketing efetivas. Além disso, no Instagram, os anúncios também não são invasivos, pois aparecem na linha de tempo do usuário e, por isso, não atrapalha a sua navegabilidade dentro da rede. E-mail O e-mail marketing é outro excelente canal de comunicação para campanhas de remarketing. Isso porque além de ter um custo menor do que a utilização de outras mídias, com o e-mail, você consegue conversar melhor com o seu cliente, ou seja, oferecer ofertas mais adequadas ao seu perfil. Basta um bom sistema de CRM e uma plataforma de envio de mensagens. Com o e-mail marketing, é possível ter informações precisas sobre abertura da mensagem, clique no link do produto e compra. Então, analise o perfil de seu público e estabeleça um orçamento para as suas campanhas. Depois disso, basta escolher um ou todos os canais já citados. Busque qualidade, não repetição Em campanhas de remarketing, o que gera resultados é a qualidade dos anúncios e não a repetição das propagandas para o mesmo cliente. Além de não agregar valor às campanhas, a repetição pode, ainda, se tornar irritante e proporcionar um resultado contrário ao que você espera. Se o cliente já comprou aquele produto, não tem justificativa para que ele continue a visualizar os anúncios referentes ao item comprado. O importante é que as campanhas tenham qualidade e sejam focadas nos reais interesses e nas necessidades de seu público. !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}; if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script', 'https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js'); fbq('init', '521325078036093'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "http://connect.facebook.net/pt_BR/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.8"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Link Original

New Post has been published on Quality, Manufacturing & Product Development
New Post has been published on http://quality-manufacturing.org/often-audit-supplier/
How often should you audit your supplier and why ?
Factory audit is a common process used to verify a supplier capability and compliance with some working standard, quality management system, ethical labor practice or even health and safety standard.
The topic of this article is when should you audit your suppliers ? Should you audit them once at the beginning then bye bye or should you audit them on a periodic base ?
I will answer to those question point by point.
# Auditing during sourcing phase
Most of importers use supplier audit services to verify their manufacturers capability and to make sure the vendor is genuine (not spam) before placing their first order. Quite often, an importer after having performed some online search on a global trade platform such as Alibaba, Global Sources or Made in China will enter in contact with the vendor and start communicating about a potential order.
Then, when the times come from discussion with vendor about payment terms and conditions, and especially which amount should be deposited to the vendor account to start the order, the question of the reliability, technical capability, social responsibility, financial health and genuineness of the company start to run into the buyer brain. Indeed, with a deposit amount required usually to be between 30 to 50% of the purchase order, considering mass production big number effect, the deposit amount may not be so small. How to protect this deposit and how to minimize risk related to payment is considered at the time when the payment has to be made.
The supplier audit service is then the best tool to minimize risk by verifying the background of your vendor: production process, assets such as equipment and machine, employees, organization, management, quality assurance implementation, warehouse storage management, sample management, documentation, versioning, training of new comers, hr management, etc… All of those elements can be verified during a supplier audit before placing an order to a vendor and it helps you to assess the risk of failure to get your order delayed, your products non compliant. In some circumstances, even some financial credit check can be verified to evaluate the financial health of your vendor.
Several audit types can be implemented depending on the need and the area the international buyer want to focus on. Those area can be quality management such as an ISO 9001 audit type, corporate social responsibility with standard such as SA 8000, Sedex / Smeta, WRAP or BSCI, Environmental such as with ISO 14000, health and safety with OHS 18000, or even ISO 27001 to make sure your supplier is capable to manage confidential informations properly.
For specific industries some specific quality management audit standard may fit better than ISO 9001. For medical, ISO 13485 standard and guidelines will mostly be used, for automotive it will be ISO TS 16949, while for aerospace it would rather be AS 9100.
Out of those ISO standard, if an importer is willing to sell products to international retailers, then some specific standard to each retailer might be used. So Disney audit, Walmart audit, Costco audit, Nike audit, Target audit are mostly used when you want to sell your products imported from Asia and sold to those big retailers.
# Audit periodically to check the profile of your vendor didn’t change
If you are an experienced buyer frequently purchasing in Asia you will probably know the business manufacturing landscape can change quickly here. Hence, auditing frequently your vendor can be strategically smart in order to be kept updated about your supply chain.
An example I had in the past was the case of one manufacturer of consumer electronic I worked with for manufacturing a special type of consumer electronic product:
During the sourcing phase, I audited the manufacturer and noticed they had a SMT line with pick and place machines and reflow oven. At the audit time the machines were in use to solder SMD components on PCB. The manufacturer was capable to internalize the manufacturing process of the PCBA (assembly of components on blank PCB), hence controlling which component was soldered on the PCB and how soldering was done, hence having a decent supply chain control on the electronic part of the process. So, this manufacturer was short listed as a potential candidate and it indeed became one of our supplier.
A year and half later after placing several orders, I decided to audit again this supplier to see how the company was doing now. I was surprised when I audited because I discovered that the SMT line was not in used anymore (while machine were still present at the facility). Machines were off and the level of dust on the machines indicated that the manufacturer didn’t use the SMT line for a while whereas the manufacturer was still assembling parts to become products. In short, they had decided to sub-contract the SMT process to someone one else which they didn’t inspect regularly during product, hence partly loosing control on the supply chain. When I asked why they sub-contracted whereas they had the equipment to process SMT, they told me it was cheaper to process component soldering outside their company.
A few weeks later I actually discovered the manufacturer sub-contracted because they had decided to wipe off their engineering team to sub-contract the electronic engineering to a design company and that the design company didn’t sell the IP to the manufacturer but just the PCBA where they put their margin on the top of the BOM.
Auditing a bit every year some suppliers which are strategic in your supply chain can be a good idea to verify the evolution of their capability.
# Monitor your Ip with periodic audit
When you are already working with a supplier and placing order to them you may think that everything goes smooth. Yet sometimes it doesn’t and you don’t know it. I got an example of one client who had designed and patented a design for a very special kind of bike. The client appointed a big manufacturer of bike product to mass produce his special bike. Everything was going fine until two years later after placing order when he asked me to go visiting and auditing the supplier, process which he didn’t do before placing order.
Arriving on site, I conducted my audit like always I due. When I visited the production line, the client products where currently in production on one line. A few hundred meter away of this line, a bit isolated, was another line. I was curious so I went to have a look at what the manufacturer was doing there. I was surprised when I discovered the exact same product was manufactured but under another brand name which was the factory brand name. I quickly reported to the client to know if it was normal his product was manufactured under another name. He was also amazed and told me the manufacturer didn’t let him know about it…
In short, the manufacturer was producing for the client, but was also producing for the manufacturer brand without paying royalties and infringing patent and licensing from its own client.
If the client would not have asked me to lead an audit at the supplier facility, he would have never known his manufacturing « partner » was becoming his competitor….
# Conclusion
Supplier audit can be very useful to verify your supplier capability, social responsibility, health & safety, environmental responsibility implementation, quality management system and even financial health. On the top of it, it can help you to verify your supplier capability evolution over the time to make sure it doesn’t deteriorate. Finally, auditing your supplier on a regular basis can help you to keep an eye on your supplier to make sure your product is not copied by them.
If your supplier is strategic in your supply chain or in your procurement turn over, then I would recommend you to audit your supplier once a year ideally.
