A factory’s ability to deliver a quality product while being fair to its workers and the environment is now an essential part of a viable brand. By ensuring your business partners share your operational, social and environmental values, you can manage risk to your brand equity. An UL-STR audit leaves nothing to chance. It assesses all the critical points in the sourcing process to help ensure a factory meets quality, safety, legal and social standards while making certain they have the best ability to produce your product.
UL-STR Audits deliver unparalleled quality solutions, no matter where you source in the world:
- Factory capability audit – Assurance that manufacturing capacity, quality requirements and scheduling can be met.
- Social assessment – Evaluation of labor standards, environmental health and safety, and legal and ethical responsibilities in factories and on farms.
- Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) audit – An assessment of best practices as they relate to methods, equipment, facilities, production controls and particularly regulated industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, medical devices and cosmetics.
For over 20 years UL-STR has been a pioneer in the operation and development of independent accreditation schemes. Working on behalf of major retailers and high profile brands, we accredit suppliers and independent laboratories on their behalf on a worldwide basis.
With this background and experience we are able to offer our customers accreditation programmes covering textile testing and colour management. These programmes are managed centrally from our offices in the UK and meet specific customer requirements.
