The CSR Compass

The CSR Compass is an online tool made to help companies implement responsible supply chain management.

Responsible supply chain management focuses on collaborating with suppliers to ensure decent social and environmental conditions. This is particularly important for companies using suppliers in countries where national legislation and internationally recognised principles and standards relating to human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption are not fully respected.

The CSR Compass is targeted at small and medium-sized production, trade and service companies. The toll helps the companies manage social and environmental challenges in the supply chain and to comply with expectations from governments, industry and NGOs.

The tool provides good advice, case studies, templates, useful links etc.

Originally developed in 2005, the tool underwent extensive revision in 2010. The tool was developed by the Danish Ministry of Business and Growth and the Confederation of Danish Industry.

The structure of the CSR Compass and its advice and guidelines are in line with national and international trends and best practice standards, including the UN Global Compact, OECD’s guidelines for multinational companies, Business for Social Responsibility (BSR), Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), the Danish Ethical Trading Initiative (DIEH) and the Danish Council on Corporate Social Responsibility’s guidelines for responsible supply chain management.
