Key takeaways:
- SMETA 7.0 audit aims to deliver a more focused assessment, helping identify harder-to-detect issues at supply chain worksites, uncover root causes and drive collaborative resolution. Key enhancements include workplace requirements, collaborative action required findings, and management systems assessment.
