What does due diligence for supply chains using Homeworkers look like?
HWW has today published a factsheet, highlighting the different stages in the journey towards the decent employment of homeworkers, and listing the actions that brands can take to safeguard this vulnerable group of women workers. We are also aware that some brands have been working with their suppliers to address homeworking issues for some time. Through the Hidden Homeworkers project, we are currently documenting case studies and examples of good practice, to produce a Toolkit that brings together and shares the learning and proven steps which companies can take to improve the employment conditions of the homeworkers in their supply chains. Contact lucy(at)homeworkersww.org.uk if you have a case study to contribute to this exciting initiative.
