L4M4 Exam Dumps : Ethical and Responsible Sourcing

Explanation

Pregnant women and children are considered 'disadvantaged' by the UN. The other groups the UN call disadvantaged include; the elderly, the immunocompromised, those with disabilities and those living in poverty. This is the list given in the study guide.

A company could help disadvantaged groups in several ways. Firstly by offering employment (obviously not to the children). It could also include helping these groups as part of a Social Value out-come or community benefit scheme.

The bill of lading serves as both a receipt of goods and a document of title, which means it confirms the contract of carriage and can transfer ownership. Responsible sourcing in international trade requires precise documentation, which is why the bill of lading is critical in verifying both carriage and title.

Explanation

A supplier who follows the CIPS Code of Conduct is more likely to meet the buyer's needs is the correct answer.

The other options are wrong:

1) Compliance with Codes of Conduct from professional bodies is optional. E.g. CIPS - no organi-sation is forced to comply with CIPS.

2) Unethical behaviour is not impossible to detect, it may be difficult but with correct due diligence and things like audits it's completely possible

3) ISO 14001 is quality management so is irelevent.
