A modest Danish design company attempts to collaborate with its biggest supplier in Thailand so as to improve safety, health and environmental conditions, together with labour standards, as a core component of compliance with UN worldwide Compact principles. The company takes its corporate social responsibility (CSR) plan and has developed a brand new standard for CSR in its supplier factories that's implemented and audited by a NGO.
Several new challenges erupt as attention is directed to certification of generation inputs for example wood. Although Western small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) face pressures these SMEs often lack behaviours to change in supplier factories. The quality supervisor of the firm must assess its sustainability approach. How much leverage can a small company anticipate to have with its providers? Furthermore, is cost of auditing vendors in a nation such as Thailand too high? Dana Brown is affiliated with University of Oxford.
