 # Newly Added Session at the Ethical Sourcing Forum

 

##### The Key to Successful Supply Chain Management

 

 

 Feb 7, 2012 1:30 PM ET

  Campaign:  [Ethical Sourcing Forum, New York 2012](/news/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
