Building sustainable supply chains requires more than just commitment to ethical practices; it demands technology that offers visibility through the complex web of suppliers and subcontractors. As supply chains grow longer and more intricate, businesses face increasing risks — such as forced labour, child labour and environmental violations — from hidden links in the chain.
