Responsible Supply Chain Management

Did you know?

• European national governments - representing over 1500€ billion in spending on public procurement annually - are increasingly integrating ESG considerations into their tenders
• Studies show that supply chain 'glitches' almost always have negative impacts on stock performance, and that 'glitches' stemming from suppliers are more negative than those caused internally
• The ILO's database on national labour, social security and human rights law has over 65,000 entries

Tools for Responsible Supply Chain Management

Companies are increasingly cooperating with their suppliers to support their internal CSR capacities.  This is no easy task, as business has to cope with a myriad of environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards and other challenges.

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.
