Ensuring fair working conditions, maintaining high welfare standards and safeguarding human rights has never been more important. By leveraging transparency and risk management technology, businesses can access the actionable insight required to protect people, practices and reputation.
What are the main ethical considerations in modern supply chains?
An ethical supply chain will consider economic, environment and social responsibility factors, including:
- Eliminating child and slave labour
- Safe and hygienic working conditions
- Fair pay and working hours
- Anti-bribery and corruption
- Ethical sourcing and procurement
- Environmental awareness and sustainability
