In an increasingly socially conscious world, it is becoming more and more common for regulatory bodies to require organizations to certify to Social Accountability (SA) and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) standards. In doing so, companies are held liable for the actions that they take throughout the supply chain and their impact on the environment, their workforce and their customers. Being found non-compliant could lead to costly fines and a damaged brand reputation.
To mitigate risk throughout the supply chain, it is becoming commonplace for regulatory compliance to guide Social Accountability and Corporate Social Responsibility standards.
In part two of our CSR webinar series, Valarie Washington-Dempsey and Fernando Pimenta will provide a comprehensive overview of how to achieve and meet SA and CSR certification requirements. Attendees will learn everything that goes into compliance, the timeline and how to ensure continual improvement. In addition, we will address common FAQs around compliance and how to achieve certification.
