An estimated 21 million people are victims of slavery and forced labor throughout the world
Risk is especially high in the apparel and fashion industry.

What we
thoughtSupply chain
managers in brands just need more data about the forced labor in their supply chains.

● People care…● ...but more data
is not enough● Most brands
don’t have resources or expertise to know how to track the problem.
● Brands are not monolithic entities

-$25-50k to build/maintain TRACE platform-Researcher to calculate benefits for each project-Contracts between brands/remediator/SAC for projects
-Developing TRACE platform-Identifying NGOs willing to remediate (Verite/Impactt/others-Use Higg Index to identify problematic factories)
Deployment metrics Work with the SAC
Integrate our platform with the SAC’s Higg Index and use that to find a common issue to pilot the first remediation project
Execute a project focused on remediation of an issue.
Show end results and tackle another project.
- Mid-sized firms find cost/effective ways to monitor supply chain.NGOs can find “clients” and get more funding.
- Cost savings and improved supply chain monitoring
- Prototype testing: 100K-Amount of money firms are willing to further invest in their supply chains. Mission requires businesses to spend money, but we argue in a different way that ends up being cheaper for them-Launch: 75K-Continuing operations: 90K

“I don’t have time in my day
to do this.” “I don’t trust
random NGOs.”
“What if the NGO names and shames
us?”
“Is there a cheaper way?”

Operating alone doesn’t work because…
1) There is a lack of resources.2) Sticking your neck out makes you vulnerable.

Working together allows firms to pool resources and save money, since many firms use the same factories.
In week 7, we found a key partner in the Sustainable Apparel Coalition.
