“Ensuring social compliances and improve working conditions in global supply chain”
Responsible Sourcing
Responsible Sourcing is an important part of business today, where companies are playing on the global filed. Although committing to this concept is voluntary, it is believed that with the shift to sustainable growth, adherence to these ethical and moral guidelines is inevitable. The concept means that both the buyer and the supplier are on the same page and comply with the requirements of responsible sourcing.
In a highly competitive environment, companies looking to grow their business at low cost as well as seeking suppliers that sell products at cheap rates. This leads to unlawful practices where many times the employees are the ones harmed.
People are often paid lesser than what the regulations state and labourers are exploited in different ways. This mistreatment of workers is a form of modern slavery and it violates all not only the labour laws but the basic human rights.
Besides labour, responsible sourcing also covers environment-friendly practices that the company has incorporates. The reduced and efficient use of resources and curtailing its carbon footprint are all part of this concept.
When a company wishes to make its stand known as a socially responsible entity, acquiring an internationally-recognized certification for responsible sourcing is essential.

What is Responsible Sourcing
Responsible sourcing is a concept where companies ensure that the entire supply chain operates in an ethical, sustainable and socially conscious way. The enterprises incorporate systems that not only help improve quality and performance but also aim to reduce the negative impact on the environmental.
The companies must find such solutions that their activities decrease the use of resources and have an efficient management system. Keeping a check on carbon footprint and pollution are all part of responsible sourcing.
Another major part of the responsible sourcing approach is the welfare of the people involved with the companies. The guidelines state that all enterprises must comply with the local regulations regarding labour laws and human rights. There are also provisions for set employee engagements, workplace safety and hygiene and cleanliness.
