A survey of nearly 60 large retail and consumer goods
companies in eight countries: Australia, Canada, China,
France, Germany, India, the UK and the US. The report
delivers thought-provoking findings. According to the
survey, the practice of global sourcing in the retail
and consumer sector is thriving, but many companies are
not particularly clear on their cost savings or
confident of product safety and other key risks. Cost is
still the primary driver of global sourcing decisions.
The report also contains practical recommendations on
carbon footprint, supplier risk management, performance
measurement and tax. pdf 2008
