Partnering with Insite is one way in which vendors and licensees can meet brand expectations: expectations that vendors and licensees take responsibility for the compliance status of their suppliers.

At Insite, we recognize that although compliance is an important business activity, it is often beyond the scope of existing resources for many vendors. With this in mind, we work directly with you as your social compliance partner to ensure that you are meeting the requirements of your client and understand these requirements, as well as any next steps that need to be taken after the audit has been completed. 

Some of our social compliance and added-value support services include:

Social Audits
Social Audits are conducted according to the codes of conduct, standards, and terms of engagement of the brands.

Typical focus of a social audit includes:  

Child Labor
Disciplinary Practices
Discrimination
Environment
Forced Labor
Freedom of Association
Health and Safety
Working Hours

Vendor Collaboration
Sharing audits helps reduce cost and time on vendors and suppliers.  At Insite we maintain a very detailed database that searches for factory matches.  If at any time a new factory is entered into the system and a match is found, we will notify the vendors, and with their permission (and the permission of the brands involved), engage in a collaborative audit between the two parties. 

Program Development
Insite can assist vendors and licensees to develop their own social compliance programs with the aim of implementing programs that meet the expectations of multiple brands.
