Typical problem
The Italian entrepreneur is often unaware that in the countries where the collection of raw materials / production of their products takes place:
- there are no ethical rules,
- locally lawful rules are prohibited or illegal in Italy/Europe.
A question arises.
How can an Italian multinational company be sure that all components of its supply chain comply with the CSR standards it has set for itself and the certifications of its products, in terms of:
- Child exploitation
- Environmental exploitation
- Corruption
- Work safety
Effective due diligence can be the solution
Our investigators, through thorough “auditing” and “due diligence,” validate the compliance of all components of the value chain (suppliers, sub-contractors, distribution channels, etc.), in any country in the world, in order to avoid possible and damaging liability spillover, which jeopardizes business activity or corporate image.
Human intelligence is important
Automated systems provide insufficient information because they rely on information from open sources.
Complete information emerges only through the analysis of automated reports made by professionals who make insights through direct observation and listening to “rumors” on the ground.
Preventive investigative activities
We ascertain with observers on the ground operating anonymously that:
- Companies involved in the collection, cultivation, processing of raw materials,
- o the people involved in the indirect business line
conduct the activity in an ethical and legal manner, providing appropriate evidence to the principal.
Post-event investigative activities
We ensure over time that CSR and product standards are met and maintained throughout the supply chain (from production to distribution) from an ethical and environmental perspective.
