Professional Compliance Community (PCC), a BSR initiative, aims to provide knowledge and platform for compliance community. This program is designed around a three-year horizon, with year one focused on deepening the group’s knowledge base, year two opening up participation beyond multinationals and year three aims for PCC to become an independently operating community.
On Dec 10, the program kicked off in Guangzhou with 19 participants from 11 brands such as Apple, Avery Dennison, Disney, Gap, Hanes, JCPenny, Jones Apparel, Liz Claiborne, Li & Fung, Limited brands, Nike and Timberland. Participants were discussing on challenges and opportunities in compliance community and focus for upcoming one-year training and networking activities.
