Description | The Responsible Sourcing Tool is a website created to help federal contractors, acquisitions personnel and any company visualize and understand the risks of human trafficking in supply chains, as well as the mechanisms to implement effective, comprehensive management systems to detect, prevent, and combat trafficking. The website contains an in-depth examination of 11 key sectors and 43 commodities at risk for human trafficking or trafficking-related practices, as well as 10 comprehensive, downloadable risk-management tools, and tailored tools for the seafood sector and the food and beverage sector. The tools include items such as a sample code of conduct, a sample vendor agreement, a tool on screening and evaluating labour recruiters, a sample supplier and subcontractor self-assessment, and a model compliance plan for the FAR. The resources and tools are not meant to be exhaustive or determinative, but should allow stakeholders and federal contractors in particular, to better focus their efforts in reducing or eliminating risks of human trafficking in supply chains. |
