Who We Are

Practical expertise.
Real-world impact.

We support manufacturers, retailers, brands, and supply chain partners to strengthen responsible business practices across global supply chains.

Our team brings over 25 years of experience across social compliance, human rights due diligence, ethical sourcing, worker engagement, and modern slavery risk management.

With experience spanning retail, manufacturing, NGOs, and third-party audit environments, we help organisations translate regulatory and buyer expectations into practical, factory-level action.

Based in Bengaluru, we work across South and Southeast Asia.

Languages

We work in English, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada — enabling direct, trust-based engagement with workers and factory teams.

Regulatory Expertise

We keep pace with evolving global due diligence frameworks so your organisation doesn't have to.

What We Do

Services built for
operational realities

We translate complex regulatory expectations and buyer requirements into practical, implementable action — at the factory level, where it counts.

01
Assessments, Investigations & Due Diligence
What you can't see, you can't fix.
Our assessments, audits, investigations, and baseline studies help identify operational gaps, strengthen compliance, and improve responsible business practices across supply chains. Work spans factory and field assessments, baseline studies, and issue-based investigations — covering modern slavery, forced labour, harassment, wages, freedom of association (FOA), and worker wellbeing — supported by independent verification and structured remediation.
02
Workplace Systems & Improvement
Commitment matters, but systems are what make it last.
We help organisations build the operational foundations that make responsible practices stick: policies and procedures, grievance mechanisms, worker voice systems, responsible recruitment, and migrant worker management. Our support also covers internal audits, risk management, transport safety, and buyer-ready remediation — giving organisations the tools to demonstrate progress, not just intent.
03
Supply Chain Visibility & Risk
Supply chain risk doesn't stop at tier one.
We help organisations see further — mapping suppliers, tracing material flows, and engaging beyond direct relationships to understand where real risk lives. Includes supply chain mapping, traceability systems, mills consolidation, risk screening, and targeted interventions that build stronger oversight across every tier that matters.
04
Training & Capability
Knowledge without capability doesn't change practice.
We design and deliver practical training and capability-building programmes for workers, supervisors, management teams, and business leaders — building the skills that turn commitments into everyday practice.
05
Impact Assessment & ESG Reporting
Impact only counts when the evidence backs it.
We assess the social intervention programmes run by retailers, suppliers, and NGOs — establishing what actually changed, objectively and against both qualitative and quantitative evidence, drawing on frameworks such as Theory of Change (ToC), the Logical Framework, and Results-Based Management. Our work includes ESG dashboards, reporting frameworks, data quality assurance, and monitoring systems that make performance visible and accountability real.

Due diligence is becoming a business-critical capability — not just a compliance requirement.

Companies that delay action often face higher operational, reputational, and commercial risk.

Case Studies

Work that creates lasting change

Forced Labour Remediation

Forced Labour Identification & Remediation

Challenge
Worker identity documents retained by the employer, and recruitment fees equivalent to one month's salary charged by the recruitment agency — both identified as forced labour indicators through the due diligence process.
Support Provided
Top management engagement and commitment secured; recruitment process and worker retention strategy redesigned; targeted training delivered to relevant stakeholders and workers; and anonymous grievance reporting mechanisms strengthened.
Outcome
A trusted, resilient recruitment channel established and real-time risk identification mechanisms embedded — with stronger worker engagement and full regulatory and responsible sourcing compliance.

Gender & Inclusion

Gender Action Plan & Workplace Inclusion

Challenge
A garment manufacturer faced low female retention and few clear pathways into leadership for women — a notable gap in a sector where women make up most of the workforce.
Support Provided
We partnered with leadership to build buy-in through a dedicated workshop, then introduced gender-responsive indicators, targeted training, and management KPIs to embed accountability.
Outcome
Stronger female retention, increased representation of women in leadership roles, and higher workplace engagement across teams.
