Responsible Supply Chain Management
This Laboratory was created to raise awareness and build capabilities of suppliers, buyers and other practitioners with a stake in responsible supply chain management. To reach this goal, the Laboratory developed a European Portal for Responsible Supply Chain Management. In June 2009, a Chinese version of the portal was launched in cooperation with China WTO Tribune/Development Center for Chinese CSR and other partners.

Tools for Responsible Supply Chain Management

Hewlett-Packard, L'Oréal, Titan and Volkswagen, supported by CSR Europe, Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) and the Hellenic Network for CSR have developed a basket of materials available online to help supply chain practicioners enhance their CSR capabilities.
