With brands and companies outsourcing production to extended global supply chains, how does a company ensure there are fair, healthy and safe conditions in those suppliers factories? While buyers can go it alone (and have for many years), there are an increasing number of opportunities to join forces with other buyers, with suppliers, with multi stakeholder organizations, and with civil society organizations. Mr. Nebel will discuss how sustainable compliance can be leveraged with a multitude of collaborative activities.
