Social Accountability SA 8000

Globalisation of business, whilst providing significant benefits to organisations, has brought new challenges and risks. As supply chains become more complex, it is increasingly difficult to ensure transparent management practices in every market.

Recently, many high profile multi-nationals have been implicated in scandals involving the use of child labour, discriminatory work practices or enforced labour within their supply chains.

Consumer pressure, NGO scrutiny and the media, amongst others, are all placing business under the microscope in terms of the management of Social Accountability issues and CSR.
