Progress on Responsible Sourcing? Membership survey clearly says so!

AIM-PROGRESS is pleased to announce the release of its third annual member company benchmarking survey. This tool serves as an internal barometer for the AIM-PROGRESS members, providing for free, a wealth of very helpful comparative data in order to drive member companies’ programmes forward.

Data is gathered on areas ranging from budget and human resource information to audit numbers and reporting, all anonymised to comply with anti-trust and confidentiality requirements.

Some key highlights in the 2013 survey include:

• Focus on Responsible Sourcing is on an increasing trajectory with 62% of members reporting increased resources being dedicated to this area in 2013
• Number of audits commissioned has increased by almost 50% showing the extent to which more suppliers are becoming involved
• Greater emphasis is also being placed on remediation; the number of corrective action plans initiated to tackle non-compliances has doubled
• Audit fatigue is being reduced with more members reviewing and recognising audits through the mutual recognition audited supplier list every year
• 30% of companies have reported actually de-authorizing suppliers due to egregious practices, demonstrating the importance responsible sourcing has for the industry
• 80% of companies are conducting training with their suppliers which is a 40% increase from 2011 when the first survey was undertaken.
