Social Accountability International (SAI) is a non-governmental, multi-stakeholder organization whose mission is to advance the human rights of workers by promoting decent work conditions, labor rights, and corporate social responsibility through voluntary standards.

SAI established one of the world’s preeminent social standards— SA8000— a recognized benchmark among the voluntary codes and standards initiatives that companies and factories measure their performance. SA8000 is grounded on the principles of core ILO conventions, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

SAI partners with trade unions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), multi-stakeholder initiatives, organic, fair trade, and environmental organizations, government agencies, and anti-corruption groups to carry out its mission.
