An Overview of the
Traceability Task Force
Peter Perrault
Lead Consultant, Infosys Sustainability
Process
1. Research & Consolidate Resources
2. Analyze & Define Key Issues
3. Survey AG and Conduct In-Depth Interviews
4. Incorporate Findings and Revise Scope
5. Finalize & Present to AG
6. Phase II Recommendations
Review of Completed
Research
Inputs from BSR, Infosys, Nestlé, Sedex, and UNGC;
More than 40 sources covering 20+ sectors
•Early findings:
• Overarching categories: Human Rights, Labor, Anti-Corruption, Environment –
strong interrelationship among issues
• Prioritization and approach are key questions for firms
• Highly driven by industry, sector or commodity; a/o by phase-specific activities
• Existing policies/regulations may assist in reporting guidelines
• Broader goal to enhance transparency and collaboration to understand
impacts – traceability doesn’t inherently mean physical tracing
•Existing definitions: ISO 8402 (ISO 9000)
•Existing Standards & Initiatives Include:
Forestry
Stewardship
Council (FSC)
Can-Trace
Better Cotton Initiative
(BCI)
GS1 Traceability
Standard
The Produce
Traceability Initiative
(PTI)
UTZ Certified
Fair Trade Certified
Marine Stewardship
Council
Survey Findings
Combined Bar Chart Ranking
Issues of Importance for Respondents’ Company (12 respondents)
Interview Findings by
Commodity
Wood
Cocoa
Minerals
Companies Interviewed:
•IKEA
•Staples
•Tetra Pak
•B&Q
Companies Interviewed:
•Nestlé
•Mondeléz (TBC)
•Mars (TBC)
Companies Interviewed:
•Ford
•Volkswagen
•Hitachi
•Telenor
Combination of strong legal
requirements & strong global,
collaborative traceability
scheme makes traceability a
worthwhile strategy
Companies aim to:
•Secure supply/improve farmer
practices
•Address key labor issues –
child labor and slavery
Dodd-Frank and potential
European legislation affect
companies’ need to ensure
their products are conflict-free
Timber traceability is wellestablished, and the
companies interviewed have
been engaged in this process
for a long time
Alternative strategies:
•direct purchase of cocoa
•invest in farm communities
•support collaborative
programs, e.g. – ICI; focus on
farm level capacity building
and training
•Leverage existing labeling
schemes, e.g. – Fair Trade
Highly visible topic with much
media attention
EICC/GeSI Conflict-Free
Smelter Program currently the
most established program;
does not affect all sectors
Firms are early in the
development process
Interview Findings: Where
Traceability Works
1) Value of the Commodity to the Business
• Commodity being traced is of significant value to the business and for which the
business is known
• IKEA and wood – they are ‘the biggest buyer of wood in the world’
2) Legal Requirements
• Company is subject to legal requirements
• e.g. - The Lacey Act [wood]; The Dodd-Frank Act [minerals]
• There is often an existing, recognized, collaborative global initiative companies can
join (FSC, EICC/GeSI CFS program)
3) Operational Benefits
• Operational efficiencies/benefits make traceability useful and cost effective over
time, such as:
• Deeper understanding of the supply chain
• Ability to identify more/better sources of product to avoid disruptions
• Reputational benefit
Collaborative Global Scheme
Shaping an Effective
Traceability Program
Standard/certification for:
• Source
• Chain of custody
• Processes of direct
suppliers and brand/
company
Conduct audits
Provide Data Store
Brand/
Company
•
•
•
•
•
First tier/direct
suppliers
Strong internal policy & collaborative scheme
Buyers must adhere to policy
Top management support
Integrated procurement processes
Resources dedicated to implementation
•
•
•
Second tier and below; indirect
suppliers
Raw material source
(Farms, forests, mines)
Must certify to required scheme
Must document proven chain of custody
Subject to audits
•
•
Certified as part of chain of custody
Subject to random audits by relevant
certification bodies
•
•
Certify source/site of raw material
Subject to regular audits
Phase II Recommendation:
Develop 3 Part Guide
1. Diagnostic Tool
What is my organization trying to
achieve?
What do our stakeholders
want/need?
2. Assessment of Options
What options are available?
When is traceability the appropriate
strategy?
3. How to Pursue Traceability
How do you put in place a traceability
program?
What resources are available –
general or commodity-specific?
