TRANSFORM YOUR ORGANIZATION'S SUPPLY CHAIN TO EMPHASIZE RESPONSIBLE SOURCING

Certifiable: How Businesses Operationalize Responsible Sourcing is a practical and step-by-step guide to designing, implementing, and auditing comprehensive corporate social responsibility criteria in your organization. Author and supply chain expert Chris van Bergen shows you exactly how to increase transparency across complicated global supply chains and how to leverage this transparency for permanent competitive advantage.

You'll explore the history of supply chain transparency through illuminating case studies, as well as the drawbacks of common factory auditing systems that can lead to devastatingly tragic consequences, like the Rana Plaza factory collapse. You'll also find examples of modern businesses that have successfully implemented ambitious corporate social responsibility policies and practices, learn how they did it, and--most importantly--discover how to apply those lessons to your own organization.

An essential and insightful strategy guide for executives, managers, board members, and other business leaders seeking to improve the resilience of their company's reputation, scandal-proof their supply chain and sourcing practices, and increase the bottom line, Certifiable is poised to become the gold standard in corporate social responsibility implementation and supply chain transparency.

CHRIS VAN BERGEN is a supply chain transparency expert who is also extensively experienced in issues of corporate social responsibility. He is an Adjunct Professor at the New York University Leonard N. Stern School of Business and the Chief Financial and Operating Officer at Nest, Inc., a global nonprofit organization.
