Third-party auditors are evaluating workplace conditions as part of a new social compliance program started by Tyson Foods Inc. The program, along with a new workplace safety initiative, highlight the fifth and final segment of Tyson Foods’ latest sustainability report.
The segment, titled Workforce and Culture, outlines the 2015 launch of a social compliance program designed to assess working conditions and social responsibility in the company’s plants. It involves an internal oversight committee and an outside auditing firm that evaluate plant performance in such areas as worker treatment, worker voice, compensation, safety and environmental management.
