  5. UN Decent Work in Global Supply Chains – A Baseline Report

The UN Global Compact defines supply chain sustainability as management of environmental, social and economic impacts and the encouragement of good governance throughout the lifecycles of goods and services. Failure at all levels within global supply chains have contributed to decent work deficits and the undermining of fundamental labour rights and human rights. Companies that are committed to taking action to advance decent work in the supply chain can significantly improve the lives of people and could lift millions out of poverty. There is an increasing expectation for companies to make greater progress in achieving supply chains in achieving greater progress.
