Transparency, Compliance and Ethics are Needed in the Global Supply Chain Ann Grackin Published on Feb 16, 2010 The last few years have been an awakening for businesses and consumers on what globalization, unrestricted trade, and all-out web communication really mean (both the good and the awful), and the dire consequences for consumers and society. Is the source of this problem from technology complexity, or from human dynamics? Yes! But also, the source emerges from the lack of an ethical foundation, not values, though that has been an issue in several recent scandals. Then there are the issues of transparency, poor judgment and lack of knowledge about suppliers, the detailed nature of business transactions, and the unintended consequences of myriad business decisions that were not well-researched. Lack of end-to-end visibility of the supply chain, and poor technology for visibility and security, disable our ability to reach a sustaining ethical foundation for many of our global business activities.
