SA8000 Certification

SA8000, short for Social Accountability 8000 International standard, is the world's first international standard for ethics. Its purpose is to ensure that the products supplied by the company meet the requirements of social responsibility standards. SA8000 focuses more on people, that is, labor protection, including whether the company has a sound human resource management system, whether it has improved relevant rules and regulations, including core labor standards, working hours and wages, health and safety, and whether the rights and interests of employees are effectively protected. etc.

With the introduction of the SA8000, OPES further strengthens its commitment to the socially responsible and ethical treatment of all employees and the entire supply chain.
