SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT: 
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (PIP) 
 
 
As a cost‐effective alternative to auditing, Verité has been working with 
suppliers to build up management systems and technical skills for making 
meaningful progress in meeting their customers’ Social Responsibility (SR) 
standards. Our guided‐change approach helps facilities: 
 
  internalize Code of Conduct requirements through a knowledge‐
building, skills coaching, consulting, and progress‐tracking process 
 
 integrate SR management systems that  
 screen against SR risks 
 support a positive work environment and  
 are good for business   
 
 
Phase One   Current performance assessment & systems 
diagnostic, which serve to identify problem areas and their root 
cause(s), as well as weaknesses in existing systems that hinder 
continuous improvement in legal and Code compliance and the 
ability to proactively avoid gaps.  
 
 
Phase Two    Management Action Planning (MAP) 
workshop, which helps the factory to streamline and 
strengthen its management systems and to tackle issues with 
good practice solutions.  Technical guidance, practical 
templates, tools, and other resources are provided.   
 
 
Phase Three   Follow‐up consultation and coaching visit(s) 
to help fine‐tune factory functions and build staff 
competencies for supporting long‐term change.   
 
 
Phase Four    Progress check and additional support as 
needed.   Verité will benchmark progress against goals and, in 
consultation with either or both the brand and facility, 
determine the need for additional support.
