With the first filling deadline approaching, companies are feeling the pressure to get up to speed on compliance from all sides.

Patricia states that “the key is for businesses to show commitment and to highlight the steps they are taking to fulfill their goals. For instance, a company needs to show how it is holding its suppliers accountable."

Additionally, in the same article, Source Intelligence CEO Jess Kraus remarks “it's no longer enough for companies to merely state their intentions without backing it up with action.

"These companies must go beyond uttering lofty statements on values and culture and begin giving unambiguous and clear evidence about actual results."
