- Converged Social Auditing to Raise Supply Chain Standardsmethodology: converged_social_auditingBy implementing a unified global auditing process, the organization certifies ethical manufacturing practices and reduces redundant audits, because standardized, cross-border social auditing increases accountability and drives higher compliance across the global toy supply chain.
- Global Industry Convening for Collective Standardsmethodology: industry-conveningBy convening global toy industry stakeholders and uniting national associations under a coordinated international structure, the organization advances shared standards on safety, labor rights, and trade, because collective responsibility and harmonized practices enable more effective and widespread industry reform than isolated national efforts.
