Global Partner Solutions Inc. (GPSI) is proud to announce its status as an EcoVadis Sector Initiative Learning Partner, contracted to support the International Aerospace Environmental Group (IAEG) Working Group 11 and Aviation Initiative for Responsible Procurement (AIRPro), an EcoVadis-powered sector initiative, effective April 2025.
Building upon its established role as an EcoVadis accredited Consulting Partner since 2023, this expanded partnership underscores GPSI's commitment to guiding the aerospace industry toward sustainable development.

We are proud to lend our expertise to this initiative, ensuring suppliers have the knowledge necessary to improve management systems and contribute to the eradication of forced labor.
The Scale of the Issue
The partnership's immediate focus is addressing human rights risks. Forced labor remains a global crisis spanning every major industry sector, and regulatory pressure on supply chain due diligence continues to intensify worldwide.
Combined with rising legislative pressure from regulations like the EU's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), the need for diligent supply chain management has become urgent. Aerospace manufacturers and their tiered supplier networks face direct exposure to enforcement, customer ESG audits, and reputational risk if forced labor enters the value chain undetected.

Professionals in ethical sourcing, procurement, compliance, and sustainability are invited to register for the sessions, which offer actionable steps to improve ESG performance. The capability-building program is designed for aerospace suppliers but applies broadly across complex manufacturing supply chains.
