There is a great concern from overseas buyers, importers and dealers to entertain only those garment units who work in ethical environment and follow good social practices.  Anything made inhuman condition bring straightway ‘No’ to garment manufacturers.  This is one of the big effort by well to do business icons to take care of the society as a whole Garment manufacturing consists of several small-small activities where child labour is engaged and forced to work in very sub standard conditions.  Looking to these The Corporate Social Responsibility Research Institute of New York draw up a universal code of practice for labour conditions in manufacturing units and brought out an international standard which was later known as SA 8000 which is based on the principals of international human right norms and provides for a Social Accountability Management System to demonstrate ongoing conformance with the standard.  It measures the performance of the company in nine key areas such as Child Labour, Forced Labour, Health & Safety, Freedom of Association & Right to Collective Bargaining, Discrimination, Disciplinary Practices, Working Hours, Remuneration & Management Systems.
