Social Accountability
At Nomovok, we are deeply committed to corporate responsibility, not simply as an element of our strategy, but because it is the right thing to do. Our core values reflect what we stand for and how we want to do business as a brand, as a company and as individuals.
In our development of social accountability, we have chosen to incorporate into our values the requirements of Social Accountability International (SAI). We believe that SA8000, together with its guidance material and accreditation process, is currently the most credible and verifiable social accountability standard.
SA8000 is based on accepted norms of the United Nations and the International Labor Organization, and is verified according to an accreditation system based on the standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). SAI has developed SA8000 and its accreditation process in collaboration with a wide range of labour, consumer, business, government and non-governmental organisations, and its work is overseen by a diverse international advisory board. The mission of SAI is to enable organisations to be socially accountable by:
- convening the key stakeholders to develop voluntary standards;
- accrediting qualified organisations to verify compliance; and
- promoting understanding and encouraging implementation of such standards worldwide.
More information about SA8000 is available at Social Accountability International.
