Thursday, June 16, 2022

In direct response to the UFLPA's passage last December 2021, Sourcemap developed the Forced Labor Compliance Platform specifically to help companies solve the "chain of custody challenge" -- proving that they can trace products from raw material to U.S. import -- by assembling definitive proof of the entities within their supply chains. This includes supplier discovery (identifying all of the stakeholders in the supply chain), transaction traceability (following every batch of raw material as it is converted into finished goods) and validation, including scanning suppliers for risk of fraud, waste and abuse.

Key Points: 
  • To date, more than 3,000 companies have registered for Sourcemap's Forced Labor Compliance Platform in advance of the June 21, 2022 UFLPA enforcement deadline.
  • End-to-End Traceability: Collects all of the documentation needed to validate the chain of custody, compliance with forced labor regulations, and to root out fraud, waste or abuse that may obscure the presence of forced labor.
  • "As suppliers seek to de-risk their supply chains and meet coming ESG and trade regulations, our platform is positioned to become the de facto standard for supply chain transparency and traceability."
  • Sourcemap is the pioneer of supply chain transparency and traceability software, spun out of early MIT research in 2011.
