INTRODUCING THE SAFE SUPPLIER OPERATING STANDARD
Written in partnership with The International Trade Centre (ITC), our COVID-19 Safe Operability Checklists and their accompanying white paper outline a global standard for organizations to ensure that their suppliers are stable, able, and safe to operate in a COVID world.
With COVID-19 and the blockage of the Suez Canal, organizations have never more keenly felt the impact of their supplier chains and the need to manage their suppliers better. This supplier safe operability standard provides organizations with visibility on how prepared their suppliers are and where any potential risks may lie.
