Everstream Analytics World’s First Slave-Free Alliance-Validated Modern Slavery and Forced Labor Risk Management Solution

“Together, we are taking significant strides towards our shared vision of eradicating modern slavery from supply chains”

The issue of modern-day slavery and child labor is one of the most significant challenges of today’s supply chains, with recent data from the International Labor Organization indicating a significant increase over the past few years. Forced labor is often hidden deep within the supply ecosystem and sub-tiers of complex value-creation networks. This often leads to companies unknowingly contributing and exacerbating a wide array of exploitation, from low wages and unsafe work environments to modern-day slavery, where all aspects of workers’ lives are controlled by traffickers through manipulation, debt bondage, threats, and violence, and sometimes even imprisonment. Concealed vulnerabilities such as modern slavery can swiftly and unexpectedly harm brand reputation, compliance, and competitiveness without a comprehensive approach utilizing the most advanced technologies.

Slave-Free Alliance (SFA), part of the global non-profit organization Hope for Justice, aims to help organizations worldwide achieve slave-free operations and supply chains. SFA’s partnership with Everstream Analytics combines the power of Everstream’s modern slavery and supply network visibility innovation built with the most advanced technologies, generative AI, advanced analytics, and graph technology with SFA’s vision to eradicate modern slavery.
