Why supply chain due diligence needs secure reporting channels
Risks related to labor practices, human rights, environmental impact, fraud, and unethical conduct can occur far from headquarters—often among contractors, suppliers, or service partners. If concerns are raised through informal channels, issues can go untracked, escalations can be inconsistent, and it becomes harder to prove what was done and when.
A secure reporting system gives employees and external parties a safe way to speak up—so you can identify issues earlier, investigate consistently, and document corrective actions across the supply chain.
