In 2018, the RBA Foundation and its implementing partner, ELEVATE, embarked on a program to transform the market for ethical business practices through a generous grant from the Walmart Foundation. They worked together over a 24-month period to implement a solutions-oriented program, including publicly available education and information, focusing downstream to detect and address forced labor. The project included additional upstream work, done in tandem, to develop the maturity of labor agents to meet ethical recruitment standards and better educate workers and factory management directly. Key to these efforts were the Responsible Workplace and Recruitment Programs. Both programs concluded in March 2021 and culminated in this report.
