PAS Audit for Global Supply Chain | Bureau Veritas Exclusive Auditing System
The Portable Auditing System (PAS) is a reporting instrument offered exclusively by Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services, designed to record exceptions to compliance requirements.
It leverages our proprietary scorecard reporting platform that assigns numerical weightings to various social compliance requirements based on their severity. These weightings are further reflected in a color code (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green) assigned to the audit findings. This color coding system provides a clear risk assessment of potential issues within your supply chain, allowing you to prioritize corrective actions.
A Powerful Tool for Assessing Social Compliance and Helps You:
- Reduced Costs: BV PAS has no industry association fees, lowering the overall cost of your audit.
- Widely Accepted: The BV PAS audit is benchmarked against global standards, widely accepted by most UK and US Brands and is the most effective tool for self-evaluation.
- Efficient Reporting: Our exception-based reporting system assigns a score, color code, and details any non-compliances identified during the audit. This clear and concise format facilitates efficient review and informed decision-making for corrective actions and continuous improvement.
- Customized Approach: It too can be customized to meet specific customer or industry risk weightings. We work closely with you to understand your specific requirements and tailor the audit to focus on the most relevant social compliance areas for your industry and supply chain.
