Tailored to the reporting requirements of human rights legislation in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, and California, the Human Rights: Beyond Compliance Assessment improves your visibility into your suppliers’ labor practices at every tier of your supply chain. Developed by experts from Verité, this assessment also goes beyond compliance to improve insight into labor and recruitment practices in your supply chain to mitigate risk of fraudulent or misleading recruitment schemes and forced labor. By helping you identify labor risks at a multi-tier level, this tool allows you to meaningfully address modern slavery, human rights, and human trafficking concerns while also enabling compliance with global laws.
Go Beyond Compliance
Forced labor and anti-human trafficking regulation is becoming increasingly common. Gaining a holistic understanding of human rights as well as the labor and recruitment practices within every tier of your supply chain will allow you to go beyond compliance and engage with high-risk suppliers to improve.
Stay Ahead of the Risk Curve
Human rights concerns have recently skyrocketed to the center of consumer and regulatory attention. Businesses can no longer afford to remain disengaged; demonstrate your commitment to eliminating modern slavery, forced labor and human trafficking throughout your entire value chain.
Increase Resilience
Rebuilding systems with environmental and social responsibility in mind is key to ensuring a more just and resilient future for brands and society at large.

| Scenario | Action |
|---|---|
| One supplier does not have formal contracts with its labor providers. | Start a dialogue with this supplier about the importance of having a labor policy and what timeline you should expect to see this change happen before adjusting your sourcing plans or contracts with them. |
| Only 30% cover equal compensation by gender in their hiring policies. | Work with you 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. |
| 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. |
