The Problem

Most brand social compliance and responsible sourcing programs lack the components needed to meet new Human Rights Due Diligence (mHRDD) laws and the expectations of US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Traditional programs need to be rethought, revamped, and migrated to meet the higher, more independent bar regulators are now setting.
