ESG Audit Services
Why ESG Audits Are Essential for Sustainable Supply Chains
Pro QC offers streamlined ESG audit services worldwide to mitigate risks and drive continuous improvement in the supply chain. Our solution can save up to 40% on auditing costs compared with standard SA8000, SMETA, and RBA assessments.
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) audits are comprehensive assessments that evaluate an organization’s impact and performance across key sustainability metrics. These audits are crucial for ensuring supply chain partners meet rigorous ESG standards.
However, traditional ESG audits can be time-consuming and costly, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. That’s where Pro QC International can help. Drawing on 40 years of audit proficiency, we offer a streamlined, cost-effective ESG audit service that delivers the insights needed to mitigate risks, enhance brand reputation, and drive continuous improvement across the supply chain.
Our ESG audit services are designed to meet several business needs, including:
- Evaluating potential and existing suppliers for their ESG practices
- Evaluating a factory’s ESG performance before acquisition
- Improving ESG system performance continuously
- Meeting the ESG compliance requirements of a client

Our ESG Audit Approach
Cost-effective Audit Program
While established standards like SA8000, SMETA, and RBA provide great ESG audit frameworks, the typical 3-5 days assessment process can be resource-intensive and cost-prohibitive, especially for small to medium-sized enterprises striving to be socially responsible.
To address this challenge, Pro QC has developed a streamlined, cost-effective ESG audit approach that maintains the rigor of these recognized standards. Our condensed 2-day audit process focuses on the most critical elements of SA8000, BSCI and SMETA, ensuring a meaningful assessment without the lengthy timeline.
Customized Audit
Backed by our team’s extensive ESG audit expertise, Pro QC also offers tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of our clients. This includes integrated supplier audits that combine multiple assessments into a single, efficient on-site visit.
Objective & Evidence-Based
Unlike typical audit reports that merely list non-conformities, Pro QC’s assessments are rooted in objective observations and comprehensive supporting evidence. Our auditors go beyond document reviews, conducting employee interviews at all levels to uncover the full picture.
Comprehensive Reporting
Pro QC delivers detailed audit reports that not only outline non-conformities but also highlight the strengths, complaint areas, and opportunities for improvement. They begin with an executive summary and supplier risk profile, empowering our clients to quickly identify areas for improvement. Each report contains:
- An executive summary.
- The overall audit score and risk level.
- The compliance level for each part of the audit.
Each finding is explained in clear language, backed by evidence, and color-coded.
Supplier Corrective Action Request (SCAR)
Pro QC’s audit reports include a corrective action worksheet to facilitate supplier follow-up and drive continuous ESG performance enhancements.
What is an ESG Audit?
ESG refers to the Environmental, Social, and Governance within an organization. Pro QC believes that every organization, including Pro QC, is obligated to protect our environment and take care of our community.
An ESG Audit is a framework used to assess if, and how, an organization manages its impact on the environment, climate, community, and stakeholders in a responsible manner:
Environmental: Environmental protection and the mitigation of environmental risks.
Social: Societal and economic interactions with stakeholders, encompassing employees, customers, and local communities.
Governance: The planning, management, and a systematic approach towards corporate social responsibility.
The audit identifies areas of non-compliance and opportunities for improvement and facilitates corrective measures and continuous improvement to promote a socially responsible supply chain.
Pro QC’s audit breaks down the individual components of ESG into detailed assessment criteria, covering the following:
- Management Responsibility
- Child Labor
- Working Hours
- Wages and Benefits
- Health and Safety
- Non-Discrimination
- Coercion and Harassment
- Environment
- Business Ethics
In addition to reviewing policies, procedures, and records, our auditors conduct confidential interviews with randomly selected employees to gather authentic, uninfluenced insights into the company’s labor practices, working conditions, and other topics. This holistic approach ensures that the audit findings accurately reflect the organization’s ESG performance.
