With our supply chain under pressure and with limitations on travel likely to continue, delivering our activities virtually is now more important than ever.

We are therefore delighted to announce the launch of The Link for Suppliers, our online platform and community for suppliers.

This online platform will connect, engage, and advance suppliers around responsible supply chain issues, helping them access the PSCI’s tools, resources and training, and to engage in active dialogue.

The Link for Suppliers works in a similar way to The Link for Members, with content specially tailored to suppliers. This means that every time a supplier logs into The Link (which we hope will be often), they’ll find news, activities and resources relevant to them, building awareness of the PSCI Principles and progressing their responsible supply chain knowledge. Importantly, they’ll also gain access to their own audit dashboard, giving visibility and control to suppliers, and ultimately encouraging wider, more frequent and faster sharing of audits. Finally, The Link is the best way for suppliers to stay up-to-date on updates to our SAQ and Audit tools.

For more information on The Link for Suppliers, please read our announcement (available here).

Engaging suppliers is vital and we encourage PSCI members to support in the following ways:

• Letting suppliers know The Link has launched: A template email (available to members here) for members to adapt and send to suppliers. It highlights the platform's benefits, and some of the useful resources and engaging content available on The Link.
• Making The Link part of other supplier communications: Building it into messages and key documents such as the Code of Conduct, encouraging suppliers to use and engage with the platform.

We thank members for their support.
