Social Accountability – SA 8000
Paradigm II is the ideal software for managing the
sensitive and critical document control requirements
for compliance to SA 8000.
SA 8000 is a standard for social accountability in
the workplace. An organisation wishing to gain third
party certification must first install an effective
management system which complies with the 20
relevant clauses in the Standard. (Click

The increased reliability and speed of global communications
in recent years has created a demand that companies
are responsive, transparent and responsible when difficulties
in one location could have serious repercussions for
the entire business.
The spin-offs from the certificate are immense for
the industry. It provides an assurance of good labour
practices to consumers, buyers and other companies.
It helps businesses improve their brand image, improve
relationships with contractors and suppliers, and
gain the confidence of investors as well as consumers.
In the longer run, certified companies contribute
to a more stable global business environment.
