AUDIT DECLARATION
This "Understanding Responsible Sourcing Audit" (URSA) includes assessment of the
facility's practices in Labour Standards, Health & Safety, Human Rights, Business Integrity,
Environmental Management, and Land Tenure Rights. I declare that the audit
underpinning the following report was conducted in alignment with SMETA best practice
guidance version 4.0 and the Customer's Responsible Sourcing Policy requirements.
(Appendix 1).
Application of non-compliance assessment:
Q2.10 Where there is a gap between legal requirements and the standard being applied then
whichever gives the higher protection will be applied as the basis for assessment and
compliance.
Non-compliance issues will be recorded where a practice does not meet the required
standard. An observation will be recorded when a current practice may lead to a non-
compliance issue if the cause of the observation is not addressed and change implemented.
Corrective action planning and implementation of actions is required by the facility against
all non-compliance issues.
