Supply Chain Transparency
Knowing and disclosing who is in your supply chain and under what conditions — the precondition of every accountability claim.
Definition
Supply chain transparency is the degree to which information about supply chain actors, locations, conditions and practices is known internally and disclosed externally: published supplier lists, traceability to farms and mills, disclosure of audit outcomes and remediation. It ranges from tier-one visibility (direct suppliers) to full-chain traceability (raw material origin), and is increasingly mandated — due diligence laws, deforestation regulation geolocation, forced labour import bans all presume it.
