This document discusses driving supplier responsibility and improving transparency in supply chains. It provides advice from Mikkel Hippe Brun, Joshua J. Morrison, and Vishal Patel on these topics. They recommend balancing business needs with suppliers' needs, emphasizing collaboration and transparency. An SRM process, tools, and onboarding can help by optimizing value chains, managing strategic suppliers, and emphasizing value over price. Treating suppliers fairly through open communication and technology involvement can improve performance. Starting small, establishing trust, and sharing data openly and through technology can help companies improve supply chain transparency.
