Join the Movement

Achieving ethical supply chains will require mobilizing the full ecosystem of the global design and construction industry, harnessing the power of innovators and leaders to not only test and model solutions, but to collaborate and share information, integrating slave-free criteria at intervention points within the ecosystem.

Such intervention points include contracts, specifications, procurement decisions, procurement software, documentation, and auditing of construction materials. The steps to confront slavery in the built environment should include how we incentivize the industry to collect data and develop industry-wide standards and best practices, including company-wide education on ethical procurement policies, and closing legal and policy loopholes that perpetuate the illegal use of forced labor.

Together, we can eradicate slavery in the built environment within our lifetimes. To join us, please contact Michael Doherty at [email protected] or donate h
