Supply chain management
Do you see the big picture?
By the mid-1990s at the latest, when the reports on Asian sweatshops became known to the general public, companies realised that their responsibility did not stop at their own entrance gates. In a globalised world with increasingly complex supply chains, their management is becoming more and more demanding, not only from a financial-operational perspective. Compliance with ethical, social, and ecological norms and guidelines – on the side of both suppliers and customers – is a task that responsible companies increasingly have to accomplish. In addition to reducing (reputational) risks, the aim is also to create added value in their own supply chains.
