Ensuring a Cleaner Supply...
Transcript of Ensuring a Cleaner Supply...
Ensuring a Cleaner Supply ChainChemical compliance in the textile and leather supply chain is becoming more and more important in the light ofrapidly changing global legislations, new toxicological research findings, Brand expectations and NGO Concerns. Today, it is necessary to have an informed and educated supply chain to understand these issues and implement systems to meet these requirements.
Quick and effective training at all levels in the supply chain across different geographical locations, language barriers and time zones is today a challenge and a necessity. More importantly, the training delivered should match the needs and expectations of the trainee and its impact and effectiveness should be measured.
NimkarTek has pioneered an online training platform, NOTES, to deliver interactive, self-learning modules to different levels of the textile and leather supply chain on a variety of chemical management topics.With this brochure, we would like to give you an overview of our training solutions.
