The GCL International Social Compliance Scheme (GCL-SCS:2009) is a supply-chain certification scheme. The Scheme ensures a degree of confidence in the supply chain that core social responsibilities and obligations are being considered and appropriate controls effectively implemented.

Our Social Compliance assessment team is available to conduct assessments across five continents; wherever your supply chain extends, we are likely to have a team nearby.

Social responsibility is an organization’s legal and voluntary duty to consider its social and environmental impact of its decisions and activities. A corporate responsibility strategy outlines the ways that an organization contributes to sustainable development, engages with its stakeholders and behaves ethically.

How can we become certified?

Your organisation can be assessed for its social compliance against our criteria which include:

• Social responsibility and accountability
• Legal responsibilities
• Human rights and labour practices
• Community involvement
• Credibility and integrity
