Does anyone know of any companies in the U.S. that are certified or registered to the SA-8000-2001 standard?

Thanks Sidney. I wonder why this hasn't taken off at all in the U.S. or rather why it is more prevalent in some countries than others?

My guess would be that most consumers and companies that sub-contract their production end up doing it in "third world" countries... these companies are concerned with the working conditions in these countries and require the certification so they feel more confident that their product is not manufactured under "sub standard" working conditions...

Re: SA8000:2001

Click on this link and the second tab is the list, sorted by country. There are no sites in the USA certified to the standard, as far as I can see.
There may be someone certified as this list is from June 30, 2007... the SAI list used to be faster on the updating... not sure why it´s about 6 months old... :confused:

Simply because the US is not considered to be a country where labor abuse and labor rights violations exist, in significant numbers.

Certification to a standard such as SA8000 would normally be imposed on organizations operating in countries where labor "issues" are a concern to some stakeholders.

Italy sure seems way up there on registrations according to the list, I wasn't aware of abuses in Europe, but I can see China and India.:)

Qualityboi,

I do not know if "abuses" is the right term. Some Italian companies may have decided to certify to SA 8000. Not necessarily because of just that one reason; there could be others that we do not know about. We also need to be aware of many cultural differences and business practices in many other parts of the world.

Lastly, I do not know if this database represents all parts of the world.

Sensitive issue indeed.

Where's the profit in it?

Speaking in general terms, the USA is a nation of laws and within its laws (Federal, State, local., etc) are those specifically set forth and aside to cover workers. The USA also has government agencies that provide oversight on worker issues (The USA is not alone in this of course).

The ILO, under the auspices of the UN, has formulated generic guidelines covering "workers", their basic rights and employers and their basic obligations towards workers on a global basis. In the USA (and some other countries like Canada) the meeting of internal laws regarding workers could be prima facie evidence of meeting SA8000.

Unless there is profit in it and/or it becomes a mandate, don't expect US companies to jump through their fannies with this one.
