Sapona was audited by Sumerra/Elevate on 9/18/18 to evaluate environmental, safety and health aspects of our company.  This audit was specifically designed to assess these aspects regarding manufacturing of branded and university licensed products as required by our customer.  The audit is partly based on compliance with the Fair Labor Association Code of Conduct.  The auditor was impressed overall with our operation and had a few findings for improvement.  We will be improving our ergonomics program and exit direction signage.  Our objective is to treat all employees with the utmost respect, protecting their safety and health and ensuring satisfaction and happiness.  We are also committed to protecting the environment.  

Sumerra has extensive experience conducting audits on a global scale, crossing many industries. During a standard audit, Sumerra provides training and information to the factory by explaining the issues of concern, providing possible solutions, and allowing the factory the time and ability to ask questions they may have regarding the audit or other issues. Integrity, honesty and transparency are of the upmost importance to Sumerra.
