In recent years, NGOs, organizations and stakeholders have been increasingly advocating corporate accountability to society and the environment, as well as product quality and reliability and occupational health and safety. These areas of responsibility apply directly to daily operations as well as to supply chains, and despite the economic downturn, a survey conducted in August 2009 revealed that factory audits of supply chains in Asian countries increased by 61% compared to the same period last year.
