Please note that starting Feb 1st of next year, all our factories will have to begin to use APSCA-registered auditors for RS audit going forward and no change for 8 audit programs.
Important Announcement:
Beginning February 1, 2019, Walmart will require that audit reports used to satisfy Walmarts Responsible Sourcing audit requirements be conducted by an APSCA-registered auditor. In the future, Walmart plans to only accept audits conducted by APSCA Certified Social Compliance Auditors; we will let you know when APSCA certification becomes a requirement.

请注意从明年的2月1日开始,所有我们的工厂将采用APSCA注册的审核员来进行社会责任审核,并且认可的八大项目没有变更。
重要通知:
自2019年2月1日起,沃尔玛将要求所有提交给沃尔玛用于满足其责任采购审核要求的报告由APSCA登记的审核员完成。将来,沃尔玛计划只接受APSCA认证的审核员执行的审核;我们也将通知什么时候会要求具备APSCA证。关于APSCA的信息可以从这里获取。

供应商需要确保从2019年2月1日起,所有审核应由成为APSCA会员的审核机构进行,且执行审核的审核员应为APSCA登记的审核员。
APSCA (The Association of ProfessionalSocial Compliance Auditors)它是专业社会责任审核员协会,在2016年成立,并由IFIA委员会监督,是为了提高审核员与审核机构审核的专业性、一致性和可信度而成立的专业性协会组织。
从2019年2月1日起,沃尔玛供应商在联系第三方进行社会责任审核时,要明确告知给审核方是需要提交报告给沃尔玛的,这样审核公司会安排符合资格的审核员来进行审核。因为,审核机构成为APSCA的会员,不代表该审核机构的所有审核员都自动成为APSCA登记的审核员。
