Due Diligence & Traceability in the Supply Chain

Over the last decade, various laws have been adopted that require product suppliers and equipment manufacturers to investigate their supply chains more thoroughly than ever before. Growing regulations such as the UK’s Modern Slavery Act and the pending EU Conflict Minerals legislationare putting pressure on organizations to know more about their suppliers than ever before, increasing the need for greater transparency and reporting.

Sometimes this is on account of what chemicals and materials go into the products that they place on the market, in other instances it is to investigate manufacturing conditions or else whether the product comes from a sustainable source. The challenges are not specific to any one sector, but can apply to across industries like electronics, textiles, timber, paper and packaging. 

This webinar combines presentations from Edif ERA and Efeca on key legislation and practical approaches to compliance, with due diligence as the common theme.
