The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and United Way Worldwide produced the publicationTrust by Performance: Uniting Business and Philanthropy Against Trafficking to commemorate World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, held each year on July 30.
This report emphasizes the critical role that the business community and the philanthropic sectors play to thwart this heinous crime and what businesses are doing to lead the fight against trafficking.
Businesses are utilizing technological tools such as Traffik Analysis Hub, Verité’s CUMULUS Forced Labor Screen, and Counter Human Trafficking Compliance Solutions (CHTCS) Global Rizk Assessment Technology (GRAT) to map data and supply chains to detect and remedy forced labor.
A call center in the Philippines, for example, that was bidding on contracts with U.S.-based retailers deployed CHTCS’ GRAT platform to uncover compliance and labor practices that could leave the center exposed to potential forced labor in its workforce. GRAT automatically generated reports and recommendations for the call center, which then took action to mitigate the risk and ensure that it was conducting business in a lawful and ethical manner.
