Uncover hidden exploitation
Existing social audits often fail to identify the issues that matter most. As a business, an audit gap can leave you exposed to reputational damage and cause you to miss key opportunities for supplier improvement.
Fast Forward’s forensic audit methodology helps to identify and report indicators of forced labor and hidden worker exploitation, whilst also recognizing good practices within your supply base. And through SupplyShift, you can monitor audit outcomes, view trends and track progress over time.
Collaborate with suppliers and peers to catalyze improvement
Fast Forward facilitates collaboration. Share reports and data with peer brands and work together to remediate issues, all while reducing audit fatigue and costs. Provide resources and training to suppliers to help them own their compliance journey and continuously improve labor standards.
Go beyond compliance
Engagement on ethical labor shouldn’t be reduced to a task you complete once or twice a year. It should be a continuous process you can use to reduce risks, improve supplier performance, and better your relationships for the good of your business overall.
Fast Forward is more than just an audit protocol, it’s a program that helps you embed transparency into the core of your supplier engagement strategy. Work hand in hand with your suppliers to openly address issues, meet and exceed compliance standards, and make a positive impact in your supply chain.
“The Fast Forward initiative replaces the industry standard audit for our UK supply base to aid identifying and remediating any forms of modern slavery.”
“There is no doubt that the Fast Forward audit went into far more detail, highlighting points that will help us become a leader in the field of ethical trading and manufacturing.”
