Supply Chain Act: What Does It Mean for Your Fulfillment?
The Supply Chain Act and Its Significance for Fulfillment.
What does the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act cover?
The Supply Chain Act requires companies above a certain size to comply with human rights and environmental due diligence obligations throughout their entire supply chain—from raw material extraction to delivery.
Relevance for Smaller E-Commerce Brands as Well
Even though smaller retailers are not yet directly subject to the law, larger trading partners are increasingly requiring their suppliers and logistics partners to provide the necessary documentation—and the pressure is mounting throughout the supply chain.
The Role of Fulfillment Partners
A transparent fulfillment service provider with documented, traceable processes for warehousing and shipping makes it easier for brands to credibly fulfill their own due diligence obligations. Learn more about sustainable processes in the article “Sustainable Fulfillment.”
Conclusion
The Supply Chain Act will further increase transparency requirements in logistics—collaborating with reliable partners early on will pay off in the long run.
