Together with 7️⃣ other trade associations, we are joining forces to reiterate that Forced Labour has no place within #European supply chains. However, we also highlight concerns regarding the current proposed #EU framework, which could have counterproductive consequences👇 We urge co-legislators to consider the following 4️⃣ recommendations : 🔷Increasing the role of the European Commission in investigations 🔷No reversal of the Burden of Proof 🔷Focusing on a workable and effective investigative mechanism instead of a litigation-oriented framework  🔷Ensuring policy coherence with existing EU and international responsible business conduct initiatives, in particular, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive More here: https://lnkd.in/eYzJyBM6 #FLR #EU #BusinessEthics #CSDDD #CSRD #SustainableSupplyChains #forcedlabour Nick Dornheim American Chamber of Commerce to the European Union (AmCham EU) CLEPA - European Association of Automotive Suppliers DIGITALEUROPE European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA) Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry Eurometaux (European Metals Association) Japan Business Council in Europe

There's a lot to like in this article from IndustryWeek. There are real, tangible, strategic benefits to a Made-In-USA sourcing strategy that many of our customers already understand. When you consider shipping costs, tariffs, time delays, geo-political instability, and other risks, it's a great time to consider where Made-In-USA fits within your overall go-to-market strategy. https://lnkd.in/gYDDgM3K

How serious your suppliers are about getting your orders on time! Connect with me and communicate more: https://lnkd.in/gj5frh2w Every year, as Chinese suppliers return from the CNY holidays, all clients whether mine or not, seem uneasy about shipments and production timelines.  To ensure orders are on track, there are specific questions clients can ask both before and during the holidays. Here are my top 3: 1. So when your workers return to [factory location] by [a specific date], can [the company] reimburse for plane and high-speed train trips? 2. Do you see some familiar faces during your trips to them, if not regular workers, at least pay attention to key personnel, such as prototype masters, and warehouse key book keepers? It is fundamental to make sure there would be some employees committed for long term, which includes these noticeable prizes like red packets for over let’s say 3-5 yrs with the same factory.  All these reflect the owners’ mentality and how they appreciate the teams they work with! Also how they can “ remuneration” package value against the market benchmarks. 3. Building strong relationships is crucial. I make sure there are 1-2 designated contacts within each production line who I can reach out to directly. This ensures clear communication and swift resolution of any issues that may arise. #SupplyChainInsights #TradeGracefully #SupplyChain #ChinaProduction #Walmart #Supermarket #DeliveryTime

The garment manufacturing industry is deeply intertwined with global trade and logistics. Navigating the complexities of import regulations and securing the necessary licenses is crucial for success in this sector.

For manufacturers, ensuring that the right licensing is in place not only prevents costly delays but also builds a reputation for compliance and reliability in international markets.
