SUPPLIER SOCIAL COMPLIANCE
OWNERSHIP PROGRAM
Does your supplier base know how to take ownership
of factory social compliance?
The goal of SCOP is to help your suppliers build internal
compliance systems that allow them to introduce better
factories, understand complex compliance issues and work as a
more reliable and informed partner in lowering business risks.
SCOP can be executed as a standalone supplier resource or as a
first step in a broader strategy that compliments other program
elements such as auditing, capacity building and stakeholder
engagement.
