Spotlight: Humanizing the supply chain and our place in it
The holidays are a time of giving, but we don’t often hear the stories behind where those presents come from. While talk of supply chains has been front and center for the past several years, the humans that create products available to us at the click of a button are often invisible to us, sometimes by design, in an effort to conceal the exploitation that thrives within opaque systems. We’d like to invite you to a very special evening during which we’ll explore the power of community and solidarity in the quest to improve transparency and safety in our supply chains.
On December 17th, we’re bringing an outstanding group of experts, activists and problem-solvers to discuss the future of human rights across global supply chains, and how we can work collectively to demand corporate accountability and safe, healthy workplaces and communities around the world. With each gift we buy, we are all links in the supply chain, and these leaders will inspire you to use your voice to change it for the better.
