Our people are social compliance pioneers and field practitioners based in China. TAOS has offices located in Shenzhen and Shanghai.

Our Service
The TAOS Network provides a variety of auditing, training, and consultation services. Each service aims to give pragmatic solutions to social compliance issues facing participants in the supplier chain. A guiding principle of the TAOS Network is that such solutions should be an outgrowth of a synergistic conversation between a social compliance professional, and the managerial staff and the workers.
The Compliance Action Plan (CAP) is developed from a detailed supplier factory assessment by a team of experienced professionals and is specially attuned to local working conditions and realities, while striving to be consistent with the brand’s core values.
The TAOS training services—its Partnership Remediation Program, the Sustainable Compliance Training Program, and the Worker Engagement Program —have been customized to meet the specific needs and objectives of each client’s and factory. We at the TAOS Network share a commitment to creating trainings that can meet the diverse needs and aspirations of workers from a multiplicity of backgrounds and age groups.
Above all, the services provided by the TAOS Network are the product of the diverse experiences of our team. We at the TAOS Network have deeply engrained the principle that a humane workplace environment is a necessary pre-condition for enhancing productivity.
