INTRODUCING THE SAFE SUPPLIER OPERATING STANDARD
Written with guidance from The International Trade Centre (ITC), our Safe Supplier Operating Standard and the accompanying white paper outline a global standard for organisations to ensure that their suppliers are stable, able, and safe to operate in a COVID world.
With impacts like COVID-19 and the blockage of the Suez Canal, organisations have never more keenly felt the impact of their supply chains and the need to manage their suppliers better. This operating standard provides organisations with more transparency on how prepared their suppliers are and where potential risks may lie.
