2020: A Year in Review

Africa, Asia, Central America, Child Labor, Civil Society, Ethical Recruitment, Forced Labor and Human Trafficking, Forestry, Human Rights, Labor Supply Chains, Latin America, Manufacturing, Migrant Workers, Modern Slavery, raw materials, South America, Southeast Asia, Verité, Worker Empowerment

Typically at the end of a year, we at Verité ask ourselves two questions: 1) What did we do to further our vision of a world where people work under safe, fair, and legal conditions?, and 2) How did we fulfil our mission to provide the knowledge and tools to eliminate the most serious labor and human rights abuses in global supply chains?
This year, we answer these questions considering both how we have met the issues the pandemic presents and how we have fulfilled our mission despite the pandemic. Please join us in a review of selected notable projects from 2020.
