Campaign:
Ethical Sourcing Forum, New York 2012
Most companies only have good information on 10% to 15% of their direct suppliers. Transparency, Trust and Traceability of supplier facilities is a critical pre-requisite to Managing Corporate Values and Risk.
The shocking reality is that most retailers do not know where their products come from hence traceability is a real challenge due to the complex supply chains networks of intermediaries, subcontractors, domestic importers, wholesalers and constantly changing facility locations and contact details.
In today's world, the pre-requisite to managing reputational risk in your supply chain starts with knowing who your real suppliers and manufactures are and be able to answer the following question:
-
Who exactly are my suppliers?
-
How many direct vs. in-direct suppliers do I have?
-
What is my level of traceability & trust
-
Are my brands exposed to practices happening in my manufacturing facilities?
This presentation will showcase a new solution for:
-
Discovering and Screening New Suppliers
-
Managing living Profiles of Existing Approved Suppliers
-
Capacity Building Tools- Quality, Social, Environmental and Security
