Small Suppliers in Global Supply Chains

The project was made in collaboration between the then Danish Commerce and Companies Agency (now the Danish Business Authority) and Hewlett-Packard. The project was successfully finished in January 2008.

The main goals of the project were

• To generate knowledge about HP’s work on responsible supply chain management.
• To generate knowledge about the awareness, the absence and the potential of CSR in the Central and Eastern European suppliers.
•  To build up the capacity to connect CSR initiatives with business development in 15 of HP’s small and medium sized suppliers in Poland, Hungary and The Czech Republic.
• To develop generic guidelines for multinational companies about responsible supply chain management focusing on small and medium sized suppliers.
