Amidst the ongoing debate on how best to achieve good social and environmental practices in global supply chains, the World Bank Group commissioned a study on barriers to the achievement of better social and environmental performance in suppliers, and also on the options that hold the greatest promise for overcoming those barriers and enabling future improvement.
Specifically, in the words of the Bank Group, the overall objective of the study is to “. . . contribute to a broader goal of removing unnecessary barriers to CSR compliance at the supplier level in global supply chains, enabling more suppliers to implement CSR standards more easily.”
The specific objectives of this study are to:
- Identify the key barriers to improved implementation of codes of conduct at the level of suppliers.
- Identify and prioritize viable options for addressing these barriers.
