What a Good Factory Looks Like: CSR on the Offense

Background: The current supplier compliance engagement process is fraught with both cost and risk to the supplier.  The current system is based on a "cat and mouse" game that undermines trust between buyer and supplier, fails to manage CSR issues appropriately, leads to audit proliferation and places suppliers at the mercy of their buyers' constantly changing needs.

CSR on the Offense project:

Encourage factories take ownership of their own performance, and commit to continuous improvements.

Engage in an on-going, fact based discussion with its buyers based on its own challenges, issues and priorities

As a result, a supplier should be able to:

• Begin to control its own company image
• Invest in ways that help the supplier's business
• Collaborate to solve root cause issues to enable mutual success
