For two decades, buyers have worked to ensure their supply chains meet social or ethical standards. But despite adopting expensive and labour intensive audit/compliance programmes, poor labour practices and exploitative working environments continue to hit the headlines.
Our Supply Chain Mining Programme offers commercially-driven HR tools which help organisations improve supply chain labour standards and working environments in line with the following four components:
We achieve this through 4 core services:
Phone and web-based survey that contrasts the views of managers and workers
A confidential helpline for vulnerable workers to raise concerns without fear of reprisal
An exit interview service for workers to help raise standards when they leave
A feedback service for suppliers to share their experience of the buyer relationship
Our tools have been developed to create a win, win for all:
- For buyers – A transparent and sustainable supply chain which they can quantifiably manage based on Human Capital Risk
- For suppliers – A commercially driven HR framework which not only improves labour practices but also adds value to their bottom line
- For supply chain workers – An empowered and more engaged workforce with significantly improved working environments
- For consumers – The assurance that the products and services they buy are in line with fair, ethical labour practices
- For auditors – A quantifiable tool which turns auditors into change agents
With the rise of conscious consumers voting with their values, and with emerging legislation, first in the US with the California Transparency in Supply Chain Act, and now similar UK legislation on the way, brands can no longer ignore, control, or keep a lid on issues.
