Eliminate illegal exploitation of labour in your supply chain
Typical challenges
Identifying and effectively preventing human rights abuses within the company’s operations and supply chain.
Integrating human rights criteria into supplier selection and monitoring.
Avoiding supply chain interruptions arising from exposure of a supplier’s human rights abuses.
Navigating the social media minefield and addressing the distribution of false information.
Know the chain and your suppliers
It has become commonplace for organisations to publicly declare zero tolerance for modern-day slavery, forced labour, or human trafficking in any part of their business or supply chain. Yet, all too often, despite audits and certifications, corporations fail to detect labour rights abuses and do not focus on worker-centric processes and solutions. However, with governments and the public demanding greater transparency, it is increasingly important for organisations to know where their suppliers are sourcing from and how they are behaving.
If companies are aware that modern-day slavery exists in the countries where they operate, they must recognise the significant role business plays in combatting exploitative labour practices within their operations and supply chain.
Use Speeki’s array of tools to inform and drive your operations, from supply chain management to sales to market perception.
Identify the hidden voices which call out abusive practices
Many times, an organisation only hears of a supplier’s human rights issues after the case has become news and impacted the organisation’s brand, business, and consumer trust.
Instead of letting the market dictate when and how such news affects your organisation, use Speeki’s Signals tools – Reports, Sentiments, Conversations, Interviews, Messaging – to collate messages regarding these issues and pinpoint where action is needed to prevent abuses.
Map your suppliers’ sources
Understanding where your suppliers source from is essential to minimising and managing any related human rights violations that may emerge.
Speeki’s Insights services draw connections between seemingly disparate trends and comments that not only help you see the current picture, but also predict where the road is leading.
Engender trust and create additional business value through due diligence on human rights
In addition to addressing surfacing issues related to the organisation, establish robust due diligence systems and programmes throughout your organisation to prevent further human rights issues.
Speeki can help build due diligence programmes, review, audit and investigate issues as they arise. Our partner firms can help with due diligence in countries around the world.
Deploy Speeki’s suite of Actions tools – audits, gap analysis, ratings, certifications, reporting out, disclosures – to effectively build due diligence into the fabric of your business.
