Made in a Free World
Mitigate the risk of unknowingly investing in suppliers who exploit forced or child labor.
Slavery may have been abolished in the western world for nearly 200 years, but there are still approximately 27 millions slaves being exploited worldwide.
Forced layout Risk Determination and Mitigation — a software product that enables businesses to research complex business-to-business commerce and identify problem areas in the global supply chain of their industry.
Users input details of their business — entering in a list of products that they make and/or sell — and Made in a Free World help them to determine the codes of each of their direct and indirect suppliers. Each code opens up additional data with risk assessment information which is displayed on a private dashboard. The user can then delve into problem areas and receive recommendations for how to deal with high risk suppliers — this may involve inviting direct suppliers to use the tool themselves, or confronting a problematic source about their practices.
