The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) has conducted a landmark study aiming to identify solutions to some of the barriers that are preventing companies from holding their supply chains to high or even acceptable social and environmental standards. For the purposes of this study, we define responsible supply chains as those in which standards are set and enforced by companies with regard to five main aspects: environment, health and safety, labour standards, gender equality, and business ethics.
