Guidance:
The Corrective Action Plan Report summarises the site audit findings and a corrective, and preventative action plan
that both the auditor and the site manager believe is reasonable to ensure conformity with the ETI Base Code,
Local Laws and additional audited requirements. After the initial audit, the form is used to re-record actions taken
and to categorise the status of the non-compliances.
N.B. observations and good practice examples should be pointed out at the closing meeting as well as discussing
non-compliances and corrective actions.
To ensure that good practice examples are highlighted to the supplier and to give a more ‘balanced’ audit a section
to record these has been provided on the CAPR document (see following pages) which will remain with the
supplier. They will be further confirmed on receipt of the audit report.
Root cause (see column 4)
Note: it is not mandatory to complete this column at this time.
Root cause refers to the specific procedure or lack of procedure which caused the issue to arise. Before a
corrective action can sustainably rectify the situation it is important to find out the real cause of the non-
compliance and whether a system change is necessary to ensure the issue will not arise again in the future.
See SMETA BPG Chapter 7 ‘Audit Execution’ for more explanation of “root cause’’.
Next Steps:
1. The site shall request, via Sedex, that the audit body upload the audit report, non-compliances,
observations and good examples. If you have not already received instructions on how to do this then
please visit the web site www.sedexglobal.com.
2. Sites shall action its non-compliances and document its progress via Sedex.
3. Once the site has effectively progressed through its actions then it shall request via Sedex that the audit
body verify its actions. Please visit www.sedexglobal.com web site for information on how to do this.
4. The audit body shall verify corrective actions taken by the site by either a "Desk-Top” review process via
Sedex or by Follow-up Audit (see point 5).
5. Some non-compliances that cannot be closed off by “Desk-Top” review may need to be closed off via a “1
Day Follow Up Audit” charged at normal fee rates. If this is the case then the site will be notified after its
submission of documentary evidence relating to that non-compliance. Any follow-up audit must take place
within twelve months of the initial audit and the information from the initial audit must be available for sign
off of corrective action.
6. For changes to wages and hours to be correctly verified it will normally require a follow up site visit.
Auditors will generally require to see a minimum of two months wages and hours records, showing new
rates in order to confirm changes (note some clients may ask for a longer period, if in doubt please check
with the client).

Guidance on Root Cause
Explanation of the Root Cause Column
If a non-compliance is to be rectified by a corrective action which will also prevent the non-compliance
re-occurring, it is necessary to consider whether a system change is required.
Understanding the root cause of the non-compliance is essential if a site is to prevent the issue re-
occurring.
The root cause refers to the specific activity/ procedure or lack of activity /procedure which caused the
non-compliance to arise. Before a corrective action can rectify the situation it is important to find out the
real cause of the non-compliance and whether a system change is necessary to ensure the issue will not
arise again in the future.
Since this is a new addition, it is not a mandatory requirement to complete this column at this time. We
hope to encourage auditors and sites to think about Root Causes and where they are able to agree, this
column may be used to describe their discussion.
Some examples of finding a “root cause“
Example 1
Where excessive hours have been noted the real reason for these needs to be understood, whether due to
production planning, bottle necks in the operation, insufficient training of operators, delays in receiving trims, etc.
Example 2
A non-compliance may be found where workers are not using PPE that has been provided to them. This could be
the result of insufficient training for workers to understand the need for its use; a lack of follow-up by supervisors
aligned to a proper set of factory rules or the fact that workers feel their productivity (and thus potential earnings) is
affected by use of items such as metal gloves.
Example 3
A site uses fines to control unacceptable behaviour of workers.
International standards (and often local laws) may require that workers should not be fined for disciplinary reasons.
It may be difficult to stop fines immediately as the site rules may have been in place for some time, but to prevent
the non-compliance re- occurring it will be necessary to make a system change.
The symptom is fines, but the root cause is a management system which may break the law. To prevent the
problem re-occurring it will be necessary to make a system change for example the site could consider a system
which rewards for good behaviour
Only by understanding the underlying cause can effective corrective actions be taken to ensure continuous
compliance.
The site is encouraged to complete this section so as to indicate their understanding of the issues raised and the
actions to be taken.
