The last two decades have seen a powerful shift towards ‘conscious businesses’. While most companies around the world are attempting to place sustainability (financial, environmental and human rights-related) at the top of their list of priorities, the majority fail.Â
Finding the source of non-sustainable practices is a struggle with seemingly unbreakable barriers, leaving many with no choice but to stick to practices that ensure only the easiest minimum level is fulfilled.
Existing approaches to risk monitoring along the supply chain are either based on desk audits or self-assessments. Both of these methods are heavy on resource expenditure: they can take up to 2 years to come up with the relevant results, and many cost a fortune if done well.
Not a small detail, the results of these reports tend to be biased, outdated, or not accurate enough. An industrial accident being reported two years later by the person who was in charge at the moment of its occurrence is past its relevant timing and probably simplified by its reporter to protect their reputation.Â
Another big issue with these approaches are the barriers of distance and language. Most situations of civil or labor unrest are reported worldwide with some sort of delay or not even reported at all. A national newspaper in Netherlands might not find it relevant to buy and report news from a faraway country such as Singapore, yet a fire at a Singaporean factory could affect a Dutch firm directly.Â
