IRCA, New approaches to qualifying and maintaining social auditor
competence
Intertek has cooperated with International Register of Certificated
Auditors to develop a new international auditor training and certification
program aimed at supporting the competence of supply chain auditors and
certification body auditors involved in social responsibility auditing.
This new program is based on the international conventions that form the
basis of SA8000 and the ETI base code, and the auditing standard ISO
19011. This seminar is an opportunity for people involved in ethical
supply chain management and certification to find out about approaches for
establishing and maintaining auditor competence and to find out more about
this new program
SRI World Group, Corporate Social Responsibility Reporting: Supply
Chain Practices and Beyond
This session explores the current environment of Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) stakeholder reporting. As investors and other
stakeholders are increasingly interested in information surrounding
corporate international supply chain practices as well as other aspects of
corporate sustainability information, companies have had to cope with the
difficult process of responding to repeated, non-standardized and
sometimes duplicative requests for information from different research
firms and stakeholder groups. Providing this information in an effective
and timely manner, offers an opportunity for companies to build
stakeholder relationships and leverage their corporate sustainability
performance. Through a pioneering method for providing data related to CSR
supply chain practices and other facets of corporate sustainability to
firms that research corporate performance, OneReportTM, participants to
this workshop have the opportunity to learn about a collaborative,
efficient, effective and cost-effective approach, for CSR reporting, which
serves the interests of companies, the research community, and stakeholders
alike.
