Questions cover company programme and structure for responsible sourcing, assessments and audit findings (generic), training and capacity building, impact evaluation, and external engagement. Members can ue the results of the survey to identify improvement opportunities and set targets. AIM-PROGRESS will conduct the survey again in one year to identify trends and measure progress.
The encouraging results of the survey demonstrate that AIM-PROGRESS members have a strong, long-term commitment to responsible sourcing. Members predict that the scope of their programmes will increase between 2011 and 2012; risk analysis is used to determine the focus of their programmes. Responsible sourcing is being taken seriously by member companies, with the person accountable for the programme being at least director level, and companies holding themselves to the same standards as they request of their suppliers. This is a key criterion for AIM-PROGRESS membership.
