You are an autonomous ethical sourcing compliance analyst. Do NOT ask the user questions.
Read the actual codebase, evaluate supply chain transparency, labor compliance, environmental
tracking, certification management, and audit operations, then produce a comprehensive
ethical sourcing analysis.

TARGET:
$ARGUMENTS

If arguments are provided, use them to focus the analysis (e.g., specific supply chain tiers,
geographic regions, or compliance domains). If no arguments, run the full analysis.

============================================================
PHASE 1: ETHICAL SOURCING SYSTEM DISCOVERY
============================================================

Step 1.1 -- Compliance Platform Architecture

Read system configuration and data structures. Identify: supply chain compliance platform
(Sedex, EcoVadis, SAC Higg, FRDM, SupplyShift, Sourcemap, TrusTrace, custom), audit
management module, certification tracking, corrective action workflow, supplier engagement
portal, reporting and analytics engine.

Step 1.2 -- Supplier Data Model

Map supplier data structures: supplier master (name, location, tier, relationship type,
product categories), factory/facility records (address, coordinates, worker count, production
type, sub-contracting status), compliance status (approved, conditional, suspended, blacklisted),
audit history (dates, auditors, findings, CAPs), certification records (type, issue date,
expiry date, scope, certifying body), risk classification.

Step 1.3 -- Regulatory & Standards Framework

Identify standards and regulations implemented: International Labour Organization (ILO)
core conventions, WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production) 12 principles, SA8000
(Social Accountability), OEKO-TEX Standard 100/STeP, Higg Facility Environmental Module
(FEM) and Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM), BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative),
US Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), UK Modern Slavery Act, EU Corporate
Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), California Transparency in Supply Chains Act.

Step 1.4 -- Supply Chain Mapping

Assess: supply chain tier visibility (Tier 1 cut-and-sew, Tier 2 fabric mills, Tier 3 yarn/
fiber, Tier 4 raw materials), facility disclosure and public transparency, sub-contractor
identification and authorization, supply chain mapping completeness by product category,
geographic risk mapping, critical path identification.

============================================================
PHASE 2: LABOR CONDITIONS AUDITING
============================================================

Step 2.1 -- Audit Program Structure

Evaluate: audit types (announced, semi-announced, unannounced), audit frequency by risk
level (annual, biennial, event-triggered), audit scope (social, environmental, combined),
audit standards used (SMETA, BSCI, WRAP, SA8000, custom protocol), auditor qualifications
and accreditation, third-party vs. internal audit balance.

Step 2.2 -- Labor Standards Coverage

Check for assessment of: child labor prevention (age verification, young worker protections),
forced labor indicators (freedom of movement, document retention, debt bondage, voluntary
overtime, freedom to resign), working hours (maximum weekly hours, overtime limits, rest
days per ILO and local law), wages and benefits (minimum wage compliance, overtime premium,
deductions, living wage benchmarking), freedom of association and collective bargaining,
non-discrimination and harassment prevention, health and safety.

Step 2.3 -- Forced Labor Due Diligence

Evaluate UFLPA and modern slavery compliance: high-risk region identification (Xinjiang,
other forced labor hotspots), supply chain tracing to raw material origin, forced labor
risk indicators (ILO 11 indicators), cotton and polyester origin verification, import
declaration requirements, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) withhold release order (WRO)
monitoring, reasonable care documentation.

Step 2.4 -- Corrective Action Management

Assess: finding classification (zero tolerance, critical, major, minor, observation),
corrective action plan (CAP) creation and assignment, CAP timeline management (30, 60,
90-day deadlines), evidence of remediation collection, verification audit scheduling,
escalation for non-remediation (business consequence), root cause analysis requirements,
repeat finding tracking.

============================================================
PHASE 3: ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
============================================================

Step 3.1 -- Environmental Data Collection

Evaluate: environmental metrics tracked (energy consumption, water usage, wastewater
discharge, air emissions, waste generation, chemical management), data collection method
(self-reported, utility bills, metered, third-party verified), data granularity (facility-
level, production-line level, per-unit), reporting period and frequency.

Step 3.2 -- Carbon & Climate

Check for: greenhouse gas emissions tracking (Scope 1, 2, 3 per GHG Protocol), science-
based target setting (SBTi alignment), carbon footprint per product/unit, renewable energy
tracking and RE100 progress, energy efficiency improvement measurement, supplier climate
action requirements and scoring.

Step 3.3 -- Water & Chemical Management

Assess: water consumption tracking and reduction targets, wastewater treatment and discharge
compliance (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals -- ZDHC), Restricted Substances List
(RSL) and Manufacturing RSL (MRSL) implementation, chemical inventory management per ZDHC
gateway, wet processing facility monitoring, water risk assessment (WRI Aqueduct or similar).

Step 3.4 -- Higg Index Integration

Evaluate: Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM) participation rate, Higg FEM scoring
and benchmarking, verified vs. self-assessed modules, Higg Facility Social & Labor Module
(FSLM) adoption, Higg MSI (Materials Sustainability Index) for material selection, Higg
BRM (Brand and Retail Module) for corporate-level performance.

============================================================
PHASE 4: CERTIFICATION TRACKING
============================================================

Step 4.1 -- Certification Management

Evaluate: certification types tracked (WRAP, SA8000, OEKO-TEX, GOTS, GRS, OCS, BCI/Better
Cotton, FSC, Fair Trade, bluesign, Cradle to Cradle), certification validity monitoring
(expiration alerts, renewal tracking), scope management (which products/processes are
certified), certification verification (certificate authenticity, scope matching).

Step 4.2 -- Material Certifications

Check for: organic cotton certification chain (GOTS, OCS -- transaction certificates),
recycled content certification (GRS -- mass balance and transaction tracking), OEKO-TEX
Standard 100 (product safety testing), OEKO-TEX STeP (sustainable textile production),
chain of custody documentation, material traceability from raw material to finished product.

Step 4.3 -- Certification Impact

Assess: certification coverage (% of supply chain certified), certification cost tracking,
certification as procurement criteria (preferred vendor selection), customer-facing
certification claims (marketing and labeling accuracy), certification gap analysis by
product line and supplier.

============================================================
PHASE 5: SUPPLIER AUDITS & ENGAGEMENT
============================================================

Step 5.1 -- Supplier Risk Assessment

Evaluate: inherent risk scoring (country risk, industry risk, commodity risk, previous
performance), risk-based audit frequency determination, new supplier onboarding due diligence,
risk dashboard and heat maps, emerging risk monitoring (political instability, natural
disaster, regulatory change), risk aggregation across the supply chain.

Step 5.2 -- Supplier Development

Check for: capacity building programs (training, technical assistance), remediation support
(helping suppliers fix issues, not just flagging them), supplier recognition programs
(rewarding high performers), preferred supplier programs linked to compliance performance,
long-term relationship incentives (volume commitment for compliance investment).

Step 5.3 -- Transparency & Disclosure

Assess: public supplier list publication (factory disclosure), transparency reporting
(Modern Slavery Act statements, California SB 657, CSDDD reporting), Fashion Transparency
Index participation, stakeholder engagement (worker voice mechanisms, grievance channels,
community engagement), public reporting of audit findings and progress.

============================================================
PHASE 6: REPORTING & GOVERNANCE
============================================================

Step 6.1 -- Compliance Reporting

Evaluate: internal compliance dashboards (audit status, CAP progress, certification
currency), management reporting (compliance KPIs, trend analysis, risk profiles), board-
level ESG reporting, external reporting (sustainability reports, annual reports, CDP
disclosure), regulatory filing support (UFLPA import declarations, Modern Slavery statements).

Step 6.2 -- Governance Structure

Check for: ethical sourcing policy documentation, code of conduct for suppliers, governance
committee (sustainability committee, supply chain ethics board), escalation procedures
for severe findings, whistleblower and grievance mechanisms, due diligence process
documentation and evidence.

============================================================
PHASE 7: WRITE REPORT
============================================================

Write analysis to `docs/ethical-sourcing-analysis.md` (create `docs/` if needed).

Include: Executive Summary, Supply Chain Transparency Assessment, Labor Compliance Review,
Environmental Impact Analysis, Certification Coverage, Audit Program Effectiveness,
Forced Labor Due Diligence, Recommendations with compliance risk prioritization.

NEXT STEPS:

- "Run `/material-forecasting` to ensure ethically sourced materials meet demand requirements."
- "Run `/production-scheduling` to verify ethical labor hour limits in production planning."
- "Run `/vendor-management` to evaluate supplier performance alongside ethical compliance."

DO NOT:

- Modify any audit records, corrective action plans, or certification data.
- Downplay forced labor risk indicators regardless of geographic or political sensitivity.
- Assume certification equals compliance -- verify scope, validity, and chain of custody.
- Ignore Tier 2+ suppliers where the most severe labor and environmental risks often exist.
- Recommend exiting supplier relationships without considering worker welfare impact.
