Summary

Abstract: Responsible supply chain is about ensuring that members of the supply chain act responsibly for the well-being of all people and Mother Earth. It involves both the environmental responsibility side and the social responsibility side. On top of this, responsibility also entails ensuring that products sold to consumers are authentic without having been adulterated, and that the processes throughout the supply chain are run in an ethical manner. Although interests in and concerns over responsibility by the general public, governments, and companies have continued to increase, the problems of controlling violations and noncompliance with responsibility standards remain daunting. This chapter uses a “sense” and “respond” lens to look at how such problems can be addressed. We describe some of the innovative ways that some leading companies have used to make progress.
