The larger and more complex the company, the harder it is to track all of the firms with which it does business, the firms that they then subcontract to, and so on. Companies, not surprisingly, say that their responsibility extends only so far.
公司规模越大越复杂，跟踪所有与它有直接和间接业务往来的企业的难度也越大。毫不奇怪，公司声称它们的责任到此为止。但这并不是答案；这是一个选择。组织可以决定它的触及面范围。它们甚至可以决定要了解产品的所有材料和部件的全部来源，决定要问责扩大的一整条供应链。
