- Make a genuine difference to the lives of the people in global supply chains, by using data and measuring our impact to demonstrate that we are delivering on our vision and mission.
These goals reflect our aim to provide the best responsible sourcing solutions for our members, helping businesses to operate more ethically, and effectively manage human rights and environmental issues throughout global supply chains.
This has never been more critical, as attention on ESG and supply chain resilience continues to increase across nations, sectors and stakeholders. Technology and data are powerful enablers of positive and genuine change for people and the planet – supporting to facilitate robust, accurate assessment of working conditions around the world.
We are thrilled to incorporate Jon’s expertise as we pursue our goals, and warmly welcome him to the Executive Team.
