Managed audit programs enabling retail brands to continuously monitor supplier network compliance with proprietary codes of conduct and vendor performance standards.

These figures describe Supply Chain Auditing & Responsible Sourcing (1.10.11), the segment that Brand & Retailer Compliance Programs sits within — not Brand & Retailer Compliance Programs on its own.
No discrete Census NAICS code — supply-chain auditing sits inside inspection/certification and consulting classifications, so the segment is not separately sized by the Census Bureau.
