How can corporations perform Responsible Supply Chain Management?
An increasing number of corporations are currently working with CSR in relation to their suppliers; this work is often denominated Responsible Supply Chain Management. Buyers now raise demands towards suppliers, for instance via codes of conduct followed by monitoring and auditing.
Existing responsible supply chain management models do however seem to have several non-intended negative side effects. First of all there are indications that current approaches have little, if any, positive effect on suppliers. Current approaches, secondly, risk contributing to the exclusion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from corporate value chains. Finally, corporations use significant amounts on developing and sustaining RSCM systems.
Global CSR offers solid consultancy on responsible supply chain management. We incorporate strengths and weaknesses of current approaches in our advice services while pointing towards new approaches to RSCM. Global CSR has over the past years developed a groundbreaking approach to responsible supply chain management called RSCM 3.0. This approach represents a long term and sustainable answer to the problems identified with current approaches. RSCM 3.0 is attracting the attention of a growing number of businesses, government agencies and civil society organisations.
