About the webinar:
With recent revelations of violation in labor laws and exploitations against workers, regulatory bodies are closely scrutinizing how organizations have implemented and executed their social programs. Organizations, on their part, are re-evaluating their social compliance policies and code of conduct to monitor their business relationships with vendors and suppliers, as well as ensure proper working conditions within the supply chain. And with the emerging regulatory reforms it has become all the more crucial for organizations to have a clear understanding of the different elements that comprise social compliance programs and communicate them across the value chain.
Through this webinar, participants will gain insights on:
Ensuring compliance by developing and managing policies including code of conduct
Effectively communicating compliance expectations to suppliers and ensuring that they meet them
Enabling suppliers to provide relevant data and demonstrate compliance
Implementing corrective actions by collaborating with vendors
