In recent years, competitive pressures, globalization and increasingly discerning consumers have forced retail corporations to increase the number of suppliers they work with and the regions globally from which they source products. As a business diversifies and deepens its sources of supply it simultaneously increases its exposure to a greater number of material social and ethical risks in that supply chain. Given the large number of suppliers typically involved in the retail supply chain and given the growing social conscience of consumers and an increasing use of the internet, the likelihood of actual brand and reputational harm as a result of poor social and ethical performance in the supply chain is greater than ever before.

As a result, in recent years most big brand retailers have accepted the need to take responsibility for the social and ethical performance of their supply chain. They are also recognizing the benefits of a proactive approach to supplier performance improvement and the benefits of using web-based, purpose-built solutions to provide suppliers, workers, risk managers, compliance departments, boards of directors, investors, consumers, etc. with the right tools and information to constantly monitor, improve and enable supplier performance improvement over time.

There are obviously a number of significant benefits naturally inherent in an integrated, web-based and purpose-built software solution including: improved access to information, a single corporate-wide data source, improved data management, and real-time analysis and performance reporting.
