SMETA and retailer audits
The plant is SMETA 4-Pillar (Sedex) audited, most recently by LRQA on 4 August 2026, and has passed second-party audits for retailers including NEXT, Carrefour, CVS and Watsons. Sedex does not issue certificates, so your ethical trade team requests the report on Sedex with our company reference, ZC407045374.

What 4-Pillar means
A SMETA audit always covers labour standards and health and safety. The 4-Pillar version adds environment and business ethics. Many retailers ask for 4-Pillar, and our audit is 4-Pillar.

A retailer's own audit looks at the plant against that retailer's code of conduct, and often at quality systems too. Having passed several makes the next one quicker, because the records and the people are used to it.
