Designed to Assist Labor-Related Risks in Global Supply Chains
The U.S. Department of Labor has launched a new set of voluntary self assessment tools designed to help businesses identify and reduce labor related risks in global supply chains.
The tools support risk assessment efforts tied to forced labor enforcement and unfair foreign labor practices, offering resources such as import risk indicators, labor violation data by country, and deeper supply chain traceability beyond first tier suppliers. While optional, the tools are intended to help companies proactively assess exposure and strengthen compliance as global labor enforcement continues to expand.
The self-assessment tools launched today are:
• LaborShield: A mobile app that provides information on serious labor violations across more than 145 countries.
• ImportWatch: A resource that combines the department’s labor abuse research with U.S. import data from the U.S. Census Bureau to produce a red-flag list of all high-risk goods for U.S. importers.
• SourcingStrong: A tool to help U.S. businesses spot and manage labor-related risks in their supply chains.
• Supply Chain Traceability Portal: A platform designed to provide visibility across supply chains and beyond the first tier to expose where exploitative labor hides.
