As a multi-national brand or retailer, you likely have an existing CSR/Compliance program designed to manage risk and prevent noncompliance among your manufacturing partners. However, effective CSR/Compliance programs require brands or retailers to understand how their purchasing practices and business model can undermine CSR/Compliance. INFACT works with a select group of brands and retailers that are genuinely interested in promoting real change on the ground.
Technical Advice
With many years experience working at the brand/retailer level as well as in factories, the INFACT team is very familiar with the program elements that often lead to effective CSR/Compliance efforts. With this extensive experience, INFACT provides technical advice to brands and retailers on how to develop, enhance and implement more effective CSR/Compliance programs.

Field Support
For those brands and retail partners with no Asia-based staff, INFACT acts as a local partner to help them better manage the social compliance levels of their supply chain partners through direct contact with their vendors and factories. The INFACT consultants visit clients’ manufacturing partners not to audit or assess; but to discuss compliance issues and negotiate corrective action efforts on behalf of the brand or retail partner.
