Join ES3G’s Kris Van Broekhoven for a webinar exploring how we can objectively measure the S of ESG of any company using technology, and how we can engage the end consumer to use its purchase power to direct the supply chain towards improvement of labour conditions. Kris will share his experience from rolling out a worker engagement application for some of the UK’s largest retailers, and how it helps them to complement annual factory audits with real-time data on labour conditions in the garment industry gathered directly from the workforce. Kris will cover how this solution can be extended at scale to any industry and has the potential of becoming a global standard for human rights due diligence (HRDD).
