Supply chain | Data
Our Social Responsibility Specialists (SRSs) begin this process with their initial visit to a new factory to assess working conditions against our COVC. Based on this first assessment, the factory either earns approval or is placed in a pending status while it addresses outstanding issues. Depending on the situation, this process can take anywhere from a few weeks to more than a year. Some factories never meet our standards and, therefore, aren’t able to earn approval.
