Manufacturing an Ethics & Compliance Program
Fortify third-party relationships through a strong, internal E&C program.
The Challenge: | The Solution: |
Managing ethics and compliance risks and regulatory requirements in the manufacturing industry is a top priority and challenge. Not only do manufacturers need to build positive cultures within their own diverse and widely distributed workforces, but they are also connected to a larger community of third-parties: suppliers, vendors and distributors that are playing an increasingly important role in manufacturers’ success. Third-parties have the potential to impact a manufacturer’s reputation and bottom line, especially if they are operating outside of social, organizational or regulatory expectations. | NAVEX Global’s ecosystem covers a manufacturer’s ethics and compliance concerns internally and externally. Internal concerns are managed with a central repository of policies and procedures in PolicyTech®; risk-based employee training assigned and tracked through NAVEXEngage®; and multichannel reporting and incident management organized and resolved with EthicsPoint®. Externally, these concerns extend to third-parties and other stakeholders with RiskRate®, NAVEX Global’s third-party risk management solution. This empowers your organization to thoughtfully build, educate and monitor your third-party network. |
Process: Extend Your Ethics & Compliance Efforts to Third-Parties
- Batch upload your existing third-party engagements, and new engagements as they arise.
- Justify business need and scope third-party risks. Distribute questionnaires, code of conduct, policies and training to your third-parties to align them with your culture and expectations for ethics and compliance.
- Continually monitor your third-party network in line with your organization’s risk profile to proactively assess and engage your third-parties.
