The Human Trafficking Risk Template (HTRT) has been relaunched today under a new name, the Slavery & Trafficking Risk Template (STRT).
This renaming is to better reflect the template’s broad use by a variety of stakeholders around the world. The STRT facilitates the collection of modern slavery and human trafficking-related data, helping companies better comply with global regulations and improve their supply chain-related public disclosures.
Users will see a number of important updates reflected in Version 1.2 of the template, including clarifications to key questions and changes to the Countries Tab to ensure the listed countries reflect the most up-to-date information from the Trafficking in Persons Report.
Social Responsibility Alliance Launched
Today also marks the launch of a new initiative, the Social Responsibility Alliance (SRA), under which the Slavery & Trafficking Risk Template (STRT) will be housed.
The SRA is an initiative focused on providing companies with the open-source tools, resources and support they need to build socially-responsible supply chains. The SRA seeks to facilitate the collection of human and labour rights data to help companies create positive change in their supply chains and improve the lives of those impacted by human rights violations. The STRT Development Committee founded the initiative, and is comprised of consensus-based member organizations working together to end human trafficking and slavery and catalyze continuous improvement in supply chains around the world.
