The goal is to utilize focused training and technical assistance to assist and encourage participating suppliers to improve their rating within the BSCI auditing program, first for compliance with the BSCI code, then for compliance with the full SA8000 standard. Trainers will focus on two critical issues, in particular:

• how the management systems standard in SA8000 can improve the factories’ overall social performance and compliance with the codes,
• and the tools and systems most effective for monitoring and ensuring that subcontractors also maintain safe and decent working conditions.
