   SOCIAL COMPLIANCE’S & OUR HIGH STANDARDS

During our initial factory audit , AASA will review the entire facility – production area, warehouse, dormitories, canteen, etc – will give your auditors insight into the physical conditions the employees work in every day.

Local Chinese, Vietnam and other Asian countries laws requires that basic amenities be upheld at all factories: Enough space to move around and work in production areas, adequate ventilation, clearly marked and unobstructed emergency exits, sanitary cafeterias and restrooms, and easy access to potable water. AASA has no wiggle room here. If a factory is chosen by us, the workers will have a safe and stable working conditions.

SUPPLIERS COMPLIANCE ISSUE

The majority of a supplier’s compliance issues are usually discovered during this walkthrough. Common issues include machines lacking proper safety equipment, exposed or unmarked electrical wiring, chemicals that lack warning and information labels, and a lack of adequate personal protective equipment (PPE).

We will also make sure there is no child labor. Rest for sure the factory AASA chooses will have good and fair working conditions for all its staff. If a factory does not meet our strick social compliance standards they will not be given the opportunity to price out product.

FREIGHT FORWARDER

AASA is responsible to getting your freight from Asia to your doorstep. Transit time is usually about 25-35 days long. We will make sure your cargo picked up from factory delivered to Asian port and then delivered directly to your doorstep. Under the AASA umbrella, you will get fabulous service and very competitive pricing from freight forwarding services.

Our goal is to stay away from airfreight as this can cost up to 10 times as much as ocean freight.

Our goal is to provide amazing service as you will know where your goods are at all times of the transit.
