Kinyu SCM is pleased to announce a strategic China management partnership with Kno Global – a community-driven platform that increases transparency in worker safety and social compliance within the supply chain.
The partnership sees Kno Global utilising The China Desk by Kinyu for operational support in China. Additionally, it leverages Kinyu’s manufacturing and supply chain network for business development purposes.
Clients using The China Desk will gain preferential access to Kno Global’s technology. This access will further enhance their social compliance efforts on the ground in China.
“Using the China Desk by Kinyu has given us renewed confidence in our China operations. Not only is it a great platform to support our existing operations, but Kinyu is embedded within China’s supply chain ecosystem, so we have been able to engage with factories and supply chain companies to further develop our business in what can be a challenging market,” said Marianne Hughes, CEO of Kno Global.
Kno Global’s platform is an effective tool for reducing “social audit fatigue” among suppliers. Factory workers can use the Kno Global platform to report grievances and suggest improvements to their work environment. Additionally, they can access learning modules for stress management. The platform not only enhances social responsibility and transparency for major Western brands but also improves worker retention in factories. This helps limit staff turnover, saving on recruitment costs and ensuring consistent quality levels in production.
Companies can also employ the platform in an office setting, providing a safe environment for whistleblowers – an increasingly important issue.
“We are really excited to deepen our cooperation with Kno Global in China, as social compliance and worker retention are such tricky areas for both brands and factories. This partnership advances Kinyu’s goal of becoming a people-centric supply chain company by providing the transparency and data that brands and plant managers crave,” said Benjamin King, CEO of Kinyu SCM.
The partnership with Kno Global strengthens Kinyu’s position as a leading supply chain-focused employer of record in China. Kinyu focuses on the people who operate global supply chains and offers a holistic HR solution via The China Desk to foreign companies, utilising its offices across China.
