SA8000:2014, published by Social Accountability International (SAI), is one of the most recognised certifiable social accountability standards worldwide. Its nine elements:

- Child labour and forced or compulsory labour — zero tolerance.
- Health and safety, freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.
- Non-discrimination and fair disciplinary practices.
- Working hours, remuneration and a management system for continuous improvement.

Many global brands accept SA8000 certification as evidence of social compliance. CSER Solutions' consultants hold SA8000 qualifications and provide gap analysis, implementation support and certification preparation for factories aiming at SA8000 certification.
