Worldly tackles audit turmoil with AI

SAN FRANCISCO – Supply chain data platform Worldly has launched a new solution designed to help apparel and consumer goods brands consolidate social audit data and manage supplier compliance in a single system, as regulatory pressure over forced labour intensifies on both sides of the Atlantic.

The product, called 'Supplier Compliance Management', combines third-party audits, brand-defined assessments and data from the Higg Facility Social Labour Module (Higg FSLM), which is owned and operated by Cascale. It then uses AI to map audit findings automatically against a brand's own Code of Conduct and recognised international frameworks, including ILO Core Labour Standards.
