You should be able to document that imported goods from your suppliers are manufactured social and environmental responsible.

The first step will be to conduct a mapping of production aspects and processes at your major suppliers. This mapping must indicate if the production creates environmental problems or if there are any problems with the working conditions or safety during the production.

Afterwards you can set up a plan for improvement based on the mapping, and discuss this with your suppliers. Hopefully will it be possible to make an agreement on the solutions of different issues raised as a result of the mapping, and also to make a reasonable time-frame for the necessary improvements.

To secure frequent documentation of the production at your suppliers, you should set up an adequate management system containing reports from your suppliers and the necessary procedures for this. Ethical Trade Solutions have developed this kind of management systems and can advice how to implement this tool for supply chain management in your company.
