Transparency Task Force Update:
Member Survey
The EICC recently formed a task force to identify ways to encourage transparency across the electronics supply chain. The task force sent a survey to EICC primary representatives today that will help task force members understand company reporting practices, and key member- and industry-specific material issues. The survey is open November 13-December 4.
The survey will inform the development of a reporting framework for members and suppliers that can be part of the new EICC governance changes. It will also help identify ways EICC should support reporting by members and suppliers. Member input is critical to the development of recommendations that will be feasible and meaningful for members and stakeholders.
Contact Kate Cacciatore, Bruce Klafter, or Liz Abbett for more information about the task force or its work.
