Did you know that 60% of international trade is organized within supply chains? That nearly 3 million workers die every year due to work-related accidents and diseases? That this number is increasing?
While supply chains contribute to economic growth and employment opportunities, they can also pose challenges to workers’ safety and health. These can include unsafe working conditions, long working hours, exposure to hazardous chemicals and machinery, lack of access to occupational health services, among others. materials, lack of access to proper healthcare, and more.

The Fund addresses root causes, like governance gaps, inadequate legislation, and unsustainable practices, to improve occupational safety and health for millions of workers around the world.
