The winds of change are ushering responsible sourcing into uncharted territory that extends well beyond the traditional audit-centric model. But finding the path toward a strategic CSR agenda-one that generates positive and sustainable advantages-will come with a host of steep challenges.

Even the most seasoned CSR professionals will need guidance as they navigate the complexities surrounding global sourcing. Don’t get lost along the way.
