Research
The FFC is currently conducting research to answer the question: What technology tools can get
industry working together to share information on their factory audits and to collaborate on improving conditions, such that economies of scale and efficiencies ultimately lead to easier/better monitoring and improved factory conditions?
Project objectives include:
- Dialogue among stakeholders about the full potential for collaboration that would benefit companies, factories and workers
- Research that helps the broader CSR community, who could give feedback and participate in recommendations for innovative solutions
In the spring and summer of 2009, we launched a short survey asking for input from company and other industry leaders on their current collaboration practices and future aspirations, as well as their perceptions on drivers and/or barriers to sharing & collaboration. We also asked them what they thought about a few technology tools we think might facilitate current and future collaboration. We received close to 100 survey responses and conducted an initial analysis of the results. These are available below.
The FFC is currently seeking funding to develop an action-oriented business plan for launching technology tools that were identified in the research as enabling future collaboration in supply chain compliance. Once funded and completed, this business plan will be shared with stakeholders for peer review prior to its finalization.
