Join the traceability movement
Companies in all sectors are faced with both a global regulatory trend towards end-to-end corporate responsibility and the increasing demand for transparency. The consequences are going to be huge for brands and suppliers: even if a company is indirectly in scope, it is likely to be impacted and may even be legally liable.
With Tilkal, companies can prove due diligence actions, and verify and demonstrate compliance.
