Social Compliance in the Food Sector – Understanding Supply Chain Social Responsibility in the U.S. Food Industry

Join us on Monday, March 30 at 10:00 AM CDT for an in-depth webinar exploring how social compliance standards are being implemented across the food sector, with a focus on key considerations for organizations operating in the United States. We’ll examine the growing importance of social responsibility in supply chains, the role of audits and collaborative programs, and the practical steps companies can take to prepare for and navigate social compliance requirements.

In this webinar you’ll learn:

• Social Compliance: A quick overview of what social compliance means and why it matters in today’s food supply chains.
• Social Compliance Programs: How companies design programs to manage social responsibility risks and adopt best practices.
• Social Compliance Audits: What audits cover, how they work, and the role of collaborative audit programs.
• Q&A: An open forum to address participant questions and discuss real-world challenges.

This session is the first in a multi-part series that will later explore how to interpret social compliance audit results and review common findings within the U.S. food industry.
