Amasondo anqunyiwe ayizinsiza ezibalulekile ezisetshenziswa ezimbonini eziningi ezihlanganisa ezokwakha, ezensimbi kanye nemboni yezimoto.Kungakho ukukhetha umenzi ofanele kubalulekile ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi uhlangabezana nokulindelwe nezimfuneko zakho.Ukukhetha umkhiqizi onokwethenjelwa kudinga ukubheka izitifiketi ezihlukahlukene, kuhlanganise nesitifiketi se-SMETA.Kodwa siyini isitifiketi se-SMETA futhi singakuzuzisa kanjani?
I-SMETA (i-Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) wuhlelo lokucwaningwa kwamabhuku kanye nezitifiketi olwamukelwa amalungu e-Sedex (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange), olwasungulwa ngo-2004. izindinganiso zokuphepha.
Uma ukhetha umkhiqizi wamasondo anqanyuliwe, isitifiketi se-SMETA sikuqinisekisa ukuthi umenzi unamathela ezindinganisweni zokuziphatha nezenhlalo ezibalulekile enhlanganweni yakho.Isitifiketi sihlanganisa izindawo ezimbalwa ezibalulekile njenge:
1. Izindinganiso zabasebenzi- Isitifiketi se-SMETA sihlanganisa izindinganiso zabasebenzi ezifana nokusetshenziswa kwezingane, ukusetshenzwa ngempoqo, namalungelo abasebenzi.Lawa mazinga aqinisekisa ukuthi abasebenzi basebenza ngaphansi kwezimo zobuntu futhi bakhokhelwa ngokufanele ngemizamo yabo.
2. Impilo Nokuphepha - Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukuhlinzeka ngendawo yokusebenza ephephile kanye nokubhekana nezingozi ezihlobene nomsebenzi ukuze kuncishiswe izingozi nokulimala.Abakhiqizi abanezitifiketi ze-SMETA balandela la mazinga ezempilo nokuphepha ukuze bavikele abasebenzi babo.
3. Amazinga Emvelo - Isitifiketi se-SMETA sidinga ukuthi abakhiqizi bahambisane nemithetho yezemvelo, okuhlanganisa ukulahlwa okufanele kwemikhiqizo engcolile kanye nokwehliswa kwe-carbon footprint.Lokhu kusiza ukunciphisa umthelela wendawo futhi kunciphisa ukuncika kwabakhiqizi kumafutha ezinto ezimbiwa phansi.
Ngokukhetha umkhiqizi wamasondo anqanyuliwe onesitifiketi se-SMETA, ungabonisa ukuzibophezela kwakho emikhubeni elungile neyomphakathi.Ukwengeza, ukukhetha umkhiqizi ogunyaziwe kunciphisa ubungozi ekusebenzeni kwebhizinisi lakho, njengezingozi ezingokomthetho nezodumo.Abakhiqizi abaqinisekisiwe bahlolwe ngokucophelela ukuze bakwazi ukukunikeza imikhiqizo namasevisi athembekile futhi athembekile.
Ukuze ukhethe umkhiqizi olungile wamasondo asikiwe ngesitifiketi se-SMETA, udinga ukucabangela izici ezilandelayo:
1. Ukwethembeka- Abakhiqizi abathembekile bakunikeza amadiski okusika wekhwalithi ephezulu namasevisi ahlangabezana nezidingo zakho kanye nalokho okulindele.Bheka umkhiqizi onodumo oluqinile nolwazi embonini.
2. Ukuthobela umthetho - Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi abakhiqizi bathobela izidingo nemithethonqubo edingekayo.Qinisekisa ukuthi amadiski abo okusika ahlangabezana nezitifiketi nezindinganiso ezidingekayo.
3. Isevisi Yekhasimende- Abakhiqizi abanesevisi yamakhasimende enhle kakhulu baphendula imibuzo ngokushesha futhi bakunikeze ukwesekwa okwanele kuwo wonke umjikelezo wokuphila wamadiski okusika.
Kafushane, isitifiketi se-SMETA siyisitifiketi esibalulekile okufanele usibheke lapho ukhetha umenzi wamasondo okusika.Ikuqinisekisa ukuthi umenzi unamathela ezindinganisweni zokuziphatha nezenhlalo ezibalulekile enhlanganweni yakho.Lapho ukhetha umkhiqizi, hlola isithunzi sakhe, ukuthobela, kanye nesevisi yekhasimende ukuze ukhethe uzakwethu othembekile ongakunikeza amasondo okusika nezinsizakalo zekhwalithi ephezulu.
