Funding from IRRC Institute, The Fair Labor Association, The Pensions and Capital Stewardship Project at Harvard Law School – Sunday, January 1, 2012
Harvard Law School’s Pensions and Capital Stewardship Project, part of the Labor and Worklife Program, has completed Stage 1 of an initiative to develop key performance indicators (KPIs) for investors to assess labor and human rights (LHR) risks faced by global corporations in their supply chains. A draft set of KPIs was developed with the Fair Labor Association (FLA) in consultation with more than 100 global asset owners and asset managers and other experts. Stage 2 of the initiative has now begun to beta test the KPIs with nine FLA companies that collectively source from 1,755 factories that employ around 1.8 million workers in 62 countries.
