A Fortune 50 retailer needed to comply with the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) by proving its vast product value chains were free of materials from Xinjiang, China, but manual mapping stood in the way of traceability. With Altana, the company achieved end-to-end visibility, screened suppliers at scale, and safeguarded compliance while expanding its sourcing base.
