Pro QC has over 40 years experience in quality control and quality assurance across virtually every industry.
Pro QC is a global quality assurance company that provides social compliance audit services in 88 countries worldwide. Since 1984 we have audited thousands of suppliers and developed extensive experience in identifying social and ethical compliance risks, and protecting buyers’ interests.
Worker mistreatment, inadequate safety standards, hiring child labor, and excessive working hours are just some of the elements that can land a factory in hot water with relevant authorities. The resulting factory scandals damage not only the factory itself but also the image of any brand buying from the factory and can lead to consumer boycotts and, in many cases, lawsuits. To counteract these practices, there are a plethora of social and ethical compliance standards in place.
Social and ethical compliance ensures that a buyer holds its factories and suppliers accountable for the way they treat their workers. The scope of the associated audits covers everything from remuneration to working hours and child labor thought to upholding health and safety standards.
