Supply chains in many industries are increasingly fragmented and dispersed across international borders and large distances. For example, most consumer products in Europe are obtained from foreign manufacturers while international toy manufacturers often sell products which do not come from their own factories. Sourcing in this way provides many potential benefits, but may also increase concerns about environmental and social sustainability, such as questions over the use of child labour, and poor labour conditions in foreign markets when seeking cheaper sources of supply.
