In partnership with BSR, the UN Global Compact (UNGC) will launch a work stream later this month to provide guidance for companies on developing more sustainable supply chain practices around the four issue areas of the UNGC: human rights, labor, the environment, and anti-corruption.
The purpose of the collaboration is to develop the following outputs in time for the UNGC Leaders Summit on June 24 and 25:
- A new guide on getting started, "Supply Chain Sustainability: Implementation Guidance, Inspiration, and Examples"
- An interactive, online tool for procurement teams to assess and learn more about responsible sourcing strategies
Companies may request to join the UNGC Supply Chain Advisory Group, suggest examples of good practices, and sponsor the work stream deliverables. The partnership will also engage with UNGC signatory companies through seminars and workshops on responsible sourcing.
For more information, contact Cody Sisco, Manager, Advisory Services, BSR (+1 415 984 3212 or csisco@bsr.org), or Cecilie Hultmann, Issue Manager, Supply Chain Sustainability, UNGC (hultmann@un.org).
