Is there a risk your Chinese suppliers might cause you embarrassment? International standards for code of conduct are partly against Chinese national laws and common practices and have hence not received much recognition in China. A balanced approach is needed where pressure and incentives to suppliers are implemented in harmony with the Chinese government direction. We can help you to develop your local supplier code of conduct system, perform audits and compile supplier performance statistics giving you material for input to your supply chain sustainability report.

Do you have time and knowledge to control your operation in China?

Does your staff really understand your values? Are you sure your suppliers follow acceptable labour, safety and environmental regulations and standards? Scandic Sourcing offers a number of services to help you minimize risk when dealing in China.

Code of Conduct Training

The Chinese ethics environment has been turbulent and undergone rapid change in the last decade. The result is a work force with a very heterogeneous value system. It is very helpful to have a clear code of conduct system to give direction and training to your staff. Scandic Sourcing can help you to develop a basic system or, based on your own code of conduct system, provide staff training adapted to the unique local environment. Read more on CSR.

Supervisor & Board Member

The position of corporate supervisor was established in 2006 company law. A supervisor has the authority, on behalf of the owner, to supervise that the Chinese subsidiary's general management actions are in compliance with local laws and practices. It is necessary to have someone with operating experience in China in order to avoid some of the common pitfalls; we can provide supervisor services whilst reviewing your internal authority and control systems. We can also act as executive or non-executive board members to ensure that your China venture capitalizes on our guidance and experience.
