HEALTH & SAFETY

Responsible Suppliers. Safer Working Conditions. Lower Business Risk.

Selecting the right supplier is not only about price, quality and delivery. It is also about ensuring that employees are treated responsibly and that manufacturing activities are carried out under safe and appropriate working conditions.

FactoryUniC assess visible evidence that suppliers are following applicable occupational health and safety regulations and the specific requirements agreed with our clients. When potential risks or gaps are identified, we report them clearly and can coordinate corrective actions and follow-up directly with the supplier.

This helps our clients reduce operational, legal, supply-chain and reputational risks when sourcing or manufacturing in China.
