Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, discussion of regulatory environments within the supply chains of MNCs will be provided. In particular, the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010, the key regulation pertaining to accountability in supply chains, will be discussed. While many MNCs are particularly dependent on international production and purchasing, pressure on them from various stakeholder groups pushing for socially responsible production has also grown significantly. Stakeholder concerns over social and human rights are becoming a key issue in major strategic international business decisions.
