Ethicast: Don’t Sleep on Supply Chain Social Compliance Audits

In an increasingly interconnected world where supply chians have become multi-layered supply webs, the task of managing supply chain due diligence has become more important than ever. A key aspect of this is social compliance auditing, the manner in which organizations ensure that they partners and third parties are abiding by human labor law.  

In this episode, Craig Moss—EVP of Measurement at Ethisphere, Director at the Digital Supply Chain Institute and the Cyber Readiness Institute, and Board Member of the Association of Professional Social Compliance Auditors—discusses the vital role that social compliance auditing plays within the larger effort to manage supply chain due diligence.  

Hear about:  

  • Why supply chain due diligence has become such a critical part of enterprise risk management 
  • Social compliance audits and how they get way more static than they deserve 
  • How to embed social compliance audits within a risk-based due diligence process 
  • Connecting social compliance audit data with broader due diligence data

Ethicast: Understanding Organizational Justice

Organizational justice examines whether employees believe the company holds wrongdoers accountable and communicates disciplinary guidelines effectively. When we talk about speak-up culture, the effectiveness of the ethics and compliance program, the power of values-based leadership, and the overall health of a culture of ethics, these things often connect directly back to organizational justice.  

In this episode, Malthe Helt, Culture Analyst on Ethisphere’s Data & Services team, shares his perspective on why organizational justice is such a vital pillar of ethical culture. He explores how trust—though difficult and time-consuming to build—can be easily broken, and how breaches of integrity or fairness can quickly erode organizational justice. Malthe also discusses the paradox that as trust grows stronger and more effective, it often becomes less visible, even as it continues to sustain a healthy culture.
