California SC Transparency Law

The California supply chain transparency law that just took effect will have a major impact on global supply chains. Businesses will have to be able to certify that no human rights abuses took place in the manufacture of their products, no matter where in the supply chain they could occur. No more blindly buying parts and products; you need to know how they were made. Given the complexity of some supply chains (see my book for a reference to AT&T), this could be a real burden.
