The Role of Social Responsibility in Supply Chain Management
Social responsibility in supply chain management involves implementing ethical and sustainable practices throughout the supply chain to ensure the well-being of workers, communities, and the environment. It includes fair treatment of workers, environmental sustainability, and consideration of the social and economic impact on local communities. Implementing social responsibility requires transparency, supplier collaboration, and robust monitoring mechanisms. The benefits include enhanced brand reputation, customer loyalty, risk mitigation, and contribution to a more sustainable and equitable business environment.
