We are the preferred provider for an auditing program addressed to merchandise suppliers on behalf of an entertainment giant.
Manufacturing practice exploitation in poorer countries is unethical, damaging, and irresponsible. A well-run, safe workplace is the ideal, but many companies who need to use international manufacturing don’t have the resources to ensure that they’re working with responsible employers. Our work, through the Corporate Social Supplier Responsibility program (CSSR), aims to help with that problem.
One of our clients wanted to promote their ethical culture to their stakeholders by selecting only reputable suppliers, making sure that any merchandise produced (and displaying their brand) was beyond reproach. Through the CSSR, only manufacturers who have passed an audit are allowed to supply our client. Today, we’re the preferred provider for the CSSR audit program in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region, as well as the only provider in India.
All suppliers are evaluated on health and safety performance, working conditions, social wages, and overtime records and policies. This tool has helped protect people employed in countries with poorer working conditions as well as preserved corporate image, brand, and reputation for clients. Additionally, the audits have made steps forward in protecting the environment, preventing social distress, reducing accidents, and keeping resilient against natural disasters.
Our team has conducted audits all across the world including over 150 in EMEA, 40 in Latin America, 30 in India, and 280 in China.
