Brands should keep track of the progress of implementation of their supply chain as well as their own impact. In order to do so KPIs are needed to be able to quantify performance (please also refer to “Define ZDHC-related indicators for business decisions”).
Brands should continuously monitor their in scope supply base for ZDHC adoption. Where they spot non-conformities they should discuss this with the supplier and support where needed to create an improvement plan (Refer to the Business Integration Chapter).
There are four recommendations within Monitoring, Evaluation & Follow up:
1
