Hidden Homeworkers Toolkit Launch

Tuesday 5th October 2021
BST 10 - 11am / IST 2:30 - 3.30pm

Homeworkers Worldwide (HWW) and Cividep India have been researching best practice in relation to homeworking from practitioners to brands, MSIs, trade unions and NGOs to produce a practical Toolkit, Finding Hidden Homeworkers in Apparel and Footwear Supply Chains.

With mandatory human rights due diligence on the horizon, it is important that brands and suppliers are prepared to meet their responsibilities.

Our Toolkit will make it easier for brands to work with their suppliers to improve transparency within homeworker supply chains, and improve homeworkers’ working conditions.

To celebrate the launch of this significant new resource we are holding on online expert panel discussion on Tuesday 5th October
