Developed by experts from Verité, the Human Trafficking Risk Assessment improves your insight into labor and recruitment practices in your supply chain. By helping you understand the strengths and weaknesses of your suppliers’ human trafficking policies, this tool allows you to identify and mitigate risk of fraudulent or misleading recruitment schemes and forced labor.

Leverage the Human Trafficking Assessment to:

Stay on Top of Trends

Forced labor and human trafficking concerns have recently skyrocketed to the center of attention. Businesses can no longer afford to be silent about these issues; demonstrate your commitment to eliminating human trafficking throughout your entire value chain.

Increase Resilience

Rebuilding systems with social sustainability in mind is key to ensuring a more just and resilient future for brands and communities in commodity producing regions. Create lower-risk supply chains while leading the transition to more ethical sourcing practices.

Ask the right questions

Human trafficking is a complex issue, and without the right approach, it’s hard to make meaningful change. Verité specializes in helping businesses address forced labor in supply chains. The Human Trafficking Risk Assessment, based on expert content from Verité, was specifically designed to evaluate your suppliers’ human trafficking policies and due diligence and screening efforts for labor recruiters, giving you the information you need to drive meaningful change.

Hiring Policies

Which of the following concepts are included in your company’s recruitment, selection, and hiring policies?

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.
