Country and sector risk assessment
Jump to:
Effective risk mitigation requires businesses to understand not just what violations occur, but why.
Our risk assessments uncover the root causes of labor rights violations in specific supply chains, sectors, or regions.
Uncovering the hidden dynamics that drive risk
Human rights due diligence is most effective when it examines the structural issues underlying risk. Violations like forced labor, child labor, and wage exploitation aren’t isolated incidents—they are rooted in systemic factors:
- Exploitative recruitment practices
- Migration patterns
- Poverty and discrimination
- Structural features of supply chains
