Create High-Risk Supplier Action Plans
Mitigating labor risks in your supply chain requires deep supplier engagement efforts that go beyond data collection. Using insights from the Human Trafficking Risk Assessment, our team can help you navigate this process and purposefully engage and empower your suppliers.
| Scenario | Action |
|---|---|
| One of your suppliers does not have formal contracts with its labor providers | Start a dialogue with this supplier about the importance of having formal performance requirements with labor providers, and when you expect to see this happen before sourcing elsewhere. |
| 10% do not evaluate labor providers’ social responsibility performance. | Engage these suppliers and create action items for them to work on, such as having a 3rd party labor audit conducted on all labor providers and employment agencies in the next 6 months. |
| Only 30% cover equal compensation by gender in their hiring policies. | Work with your top priority suppliers to discuss why equal compensation for men and women is a concern for your business, and how they can address this and ensure policies are followed. |
