  • The„ expansion„ of„ the „social„ audit„ industry „exemplifies „the „neoliberal „culture „of „private„ and „voluntary „codes „of „conduct „in „combination „with „the „privatization„ of „inspections.„
  • „„Over-reliance „on „social „audits „and „the „quantification „of „measurement„ ignores „actual„ improvement„ to „working „conditions „in„ factories. „Social „audits „are „at „best „a„ diagnosic „tool.„
