Retail Industry
The Compliance Landscape
The regulatory landscape is expanding, and retail companies have more data requirements to manage. Risk management teams in the industry have a larger role in validating and verifying the product documentation suppliers provide to them. They also have a responsibility to ensure the work environments to which they outsource production operate with respect for human rights and according to labor standards. Standardization and centralization can help companies engage their regulatory requirements efficiently and manage data with accuracy.
