Traditional social audits are evolving toward collaborative solutions for complex workplace issues. By directly engaging workers through digital platforms, companies can build more effective, sustainable improvements in their supply chains. For example, SMETA 7.0 introduces “Collaborative Action Required” findings for critical issues like living wages, Responsible Recruitment, Child Labor and Discrimination that suppliers cannot solve alone. This recognition of shared responsibility, combined with digital worker engagement, enables companies to build more effective, sustainable solutions across their supply chains.

Data-Driven Issue Resolution
By combining worker feedback with expert analysis, SUTTI helps companies identify root causes of workplace challenges. The platform’s structured data collection informs targeted improvement strategies, while external experts help management develop practical remediation plans.
