AIM-Progress

AIM-PROGRESS is a a global initiative of consumer goods manufacturers and suppliers with the aim to enable and promote responsible sourcing practices and sustainable production systems. It is supported and sponsored by AIM in Europe. Our key objectives include: - Share learnings and best practices regarding responsible sourcing especially those focused on human rights with respect to supply chains through our different work streams. - Leverage synergies and support an effective collaboration and potential convergence with other likeminded global initiatives. - Develop and promote the use of common evaluation methods to determine CSR performance within the supply chain - Drive efficiencies for all companies by collecting, assessing, and sharing non-competitive information on supply chain social compliance performance. - Help develop and promote responsible sourcing practices within the supply chain. Reduce audit fatigue for suppliers by encouraging them to share their audit reports with many customers to avoid duplicate audits. "An audit for one is an audit for all". About our activities: AIM-PROGRESS has four Working Groups on Living Wage/Income, Responsible Recruitment and Forced Labour, Grievance Mechanism, and Impact Measurement. In addition, it also has two Work streams on Mutual Recognition and Capability Building as well as two regional hubs in APAC and Africa. For more information: AIM-Progress is open to any manufacturer or supplier who meets the membership criteria with the exception of companies from the arms and tobacco sectors.
