Technical Advisory Council

The Ethical Supply Chain Program Technical Advisory Council (TAC) brings together responsible sourcing representatives from across the toy industry to offer guidance and support on technical issues to help the Ethical Supply Chain Program fulfill its mission.

Direction from the TAC is also used in the development of Ethical Supply Chain Program products and services, to ensure these deliver maximum benefits to manufacturer and buyer members.

The TAC has a direct relationship with the Ethical Supply Chain Program through the Governing Board Oversight and Appeals Committee.

Focus of the TAC

Some key areas of focus and joint projects the TAC undertakes with the Ethical Supply Chain Program include revising the Ethical Supply Chain Program Audit Checklist, strengthening the auditor training curriculum, developing capability building for factories, advising on auditor integrity issues, determining clear criteria for auditing subcontractors and reviewing Ethical Supply Chain Program policy.
