Factory audits: social, security, technical and environmental
Would you like to know that your suppliers comply with social, technical, environmental and security requirements? Nini Corporation is here to help.
Vendor audits you can rely on
Our vendor audit systems verify that suppliers comply with local, international and buyer-specific requirements.
We have conducted thousands of audits for customers all over the world. Our audits help your suppliers improve, plan production properly and ship on time, safely and in line with global security requirements (C-TPAT).

Health and safety, wages and workers' rights.
Security
Based on C-TPAT and global security requirements.
Technical
The supplier's set-up and capability to make your product.
Environmental
How the factory manages its environmental requirements.
Problems found on the factory floor
These are the kinds of risks our auditors look for, before they become your problem.
Open lift gates
Blocked emergency exits and staircases
Expired fire extinguishers
Unhygienic drinking water
Chemicals stored without safety
Social compliance and factory evaluation
Social audits are based on local and international requirements covering health and safety, compensation, and the prohibition of child labour, harassment, abuse, forced labour and discrimination.
Key points we check
- Supplier evaluation and review of sub-suppliers and records, confirming the exact location of your production
- Factory tour to make sure overall health and safety and emergency evacuation meet local and international requirements
- Interviews with workers
- Review of workers' benefits and rights records against local and international law
