Capacity building is essential practical tool for Brands and Suppliers to demonstrate sustainable improvement within their global supply base.
Whilst on-going monitoring of compliance is of course necessary and useful as it promotes 'Continuous Improvement' with suppliers. BUT, it is not the be all and end all. It can be challenging for suppliers to meet the brands sustainability requirements and expectations.
