Assent Champions Transparency & Sustainability in 2019 CSR Report

By Sarah Carpenter

As customers become more aware of the conditions in which products are sourced and manufactured, the value of ethical business practice has grown. Industry leaders, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and governments around the world have acknowledged the need for companies to implement universal corporate social responsibility principles into their businesses. As a result, CSR has in recent years become a focus for companies across many industries, including Assent Compliance.

Assent takes the opportunity to build an ethical and transparent business seriously, and in doing so, has emerged as a leader in CSR programming. These efforts are outlined in Assent’s 2019 Corporate Social Responsibility Report: Building a Culture of Transparency.
