SLIDE 6
- 1. Building member capability
All member organisations are competent and executing robust responsible sourcing programs
- 2. Effectively assuring compliance in our supply chains
Ensuring increasing supplier compliance as expectations rise through having in place increasingly aligned and mutually recognised practices, standards and metrics

Demonstrating activities of responsible sourcing which go beyond relevant legislation, international standards and company codes
Our three key objectives

Our work streams
Mutual Recognition (of audits, and potentially other elements) Capability Building (for members and suppliers) Human Rights / Impact measurement (implementing UNGPs, eliminating forced labour, measuring our impact on people’s lives) Business Integrity (tackling bribery and corruption in the supply chain) Environment (taking your commitments through the supply chain)
SLIDE 9
Mutual Recognition
- “an audit for one is an audit for all”
- Shared audited supplier list (19,000
records)
- Our common benchmark = SMETA 4 pillar
audit protocol 6.0 or equivalent
- Annual member benchmarking survey on
Responsible Sourcing practices
- What else is mutually recognisable over
and above audits? E.g. EcoVadis supplier assessments (pilot), human rights impact assessments, etc.
