Responsible Supply Chain Management

Consulting based on your needs and level of ambition

GLOBAL CSR offers a variety of services within the field of Responsible Supply Chain Management, ranging from advice on strategy development to risk assessments and audits. Depending on your setup and level of ambition, we offer just the right combination of counselling and tools to support your work with Responsible Supply Chain Management.

The new UN Guiding Principles call for many companies to start changing their way of addressing responsible supply chain management. The guidelines, which have fast become part of the CSR policies of the OECD, the World Bank and the EU, have the potential to make responsible supply chain management less costly and enable it to create more value for your company, your suppliers and the regions from which you source.

GLOBAL CSR has been involved in the development of the guidelines and offers cutting edge advice on how to implement them in your supply chain management efforts. Be prepared, minimise risks, and cut costs: The UN Guiding Principles are already changing current practices - and it doesn’t hurt that they are highly useful and pragmatic. We encourage you to start implementation already today.

Responsible Supply Chain Management - challenges and opportunities

GLOBAL CSR in cooperation with Copenhagen Business School has carried out an extensive study on challenges in relation to existing approaches to Responsible Supply Chain Management (RSCM) for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark in January 2011.  The report presents an alternative approach to Responsible Supply Chain Management, called RSCM 3.0.
