A client decided to participate in an industry-wide initiative to address the human rights, labor rights and environmental challenges that are pervasive in the industry’s supply chain process. Despite the client’s forward-looking approach to corporate responsibility issues, it lacked experience in the supply chain issues that were the subject of this industry-wide effort.

This client has relied quite a bit on the expertise of an ELG consultant with considerable background and experience helping companies build ethical supply chains. This consultant participated on behalf of our client at industry meetings, and became one of the leading voices in helping get the initiative off the ground.

This initiative has now moved beyond the formative stages. It has hired its own professional staff to manage its operations, and is becoming a significant force for positive change in the industry. The client that retained our consultant to help support the industry effort continues to rely on ELG’s expertise to assist it in driving individual supply chain leadership.
