Gradient: promoting best practice management of supply chain labour standards
|
|
The Gradient Index is an innovative AccountAbility initiative that allows you to see comparative levels of corporate management of supply chain labour issues.
Much attention has been given to supply chain labour issues in recent years, but it is not clear how companies have improved management of these issues over this time. AccountAbility has developed Gradient in consultation with a wide range of stakeholders to complement others' work in this area. 'Gradient: promoting best practice management of supply chain labour standards' has been produced jointly by AccountAbility and Insight Investment. This website explains how the Gradient Index works, what key issue areas will be, and allows users to explore different aspects of corporate performance in this area. We also describe the rationale for Gradient.

AccountAbility has also used Gradient as the basis for work with FTSE. FTSE is the world's leading financial index calculation specialist. AccountAbility has conducted consultations for FTSE to explore how FTSE4Good could incorporate supply chain labour issues. FTSE4Good are FTSE's leading socially responsible investment indices.
