Auditing and Inspections

Juice carries out thorough audits when using a new supplier every time. Every individual job is always inspected, no matter what the size. We do this to ensure our supplier’s compliance to both our own labour policy and to local and international law.

Social Audits

This inspection ensures that a supplier adheres to internationally recognized SA 8000 or Sedex (SMETA) standards for social and ethical compliance. As members of Sedex (SMETA), our auditors independently assess workplace health and safety, child and forced labour, working hours and wages, discrimination, discipline, management systems, and dormitories if provided by the factory.

Employment

We are steadfast in our dedication to ensuring a diverse and happy workplace. Juice employs people regardless of background, gender and sexuality. We take all staff complaints seriously and make all efforts to ensure their welfare and comfort within the business.

Community

Juice understands that corporate and social responsibility entails giving back to the societal landscape that we inhabit. We actively support local community initiatives and programs, and are happy to lend merchandising assistance back to society where we can.
