SOCIAL COMPLIANCE IN THE SUPPLY CHAIN

Systems and Guidelines

Enable a seamless transition to using the tools developed by the multi-brand Sustainable Compliance Initiative (SCI).

SCI data management platform is being developed by the Fair Labor Association (FLA), but IT execution is experiencing delays.

25%

Complete and launch revised social compliance key performance indicator (KPI).

The KPI template and its function have been upgraded and several indicators were added. In addition, the tool has a link to the Global Sourcing organisation’s supplier performance evaluation to bring about higher consistency. The revised tool has been launched and is being used.

Direct Sourcing Model

Direct monitoring efforts to drive better supplier performance.

Self-governance concept has been launched for the higher performing suppliers (4C and 5C-rated suppliers), and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) as well as briefing materials have been developed. Briefing to suppliers was completed by end of 2010. Full implementation will take place in 2011.

Drive efficiencies in monitoring coverage.

Programme activities were redefined based on suppliers’ KPI scores. Suppliers were notified of the need to upgrade the performance of 1C factories. Focus was on risk management of 2C factories and performance assessment of 3C factories. The services of external monitors were used for audits where internal resources were lacking. A capacity building programme is being developed for 2C and 3C factories to improve their performance.

Indirect Sourcing Model

ENGAGEMENTS

Continue dialogue with critical stakeholders and use the results to improve our programme.

There has been extensive and ongoing engagement with key stakeholders, in particular over employment concerns, minimum wages, trade union rights, supply chain transparency and other systemic issues. In some cases these drove programmatic changes.
