About us
Mission
Each morning, somewhere in the world, 1,000 people leave home for work and don’t come back. An additional 6,500 people die every day from work-related diseases.
These are the people who make our clothes. Grow the beans for our coffee. Construct the buildings in which we live and work. They need safe, healthy workplaces. They deserve our shared commitment to improving health and safety up and down the global supply chain.
We are here to be the catalyst that makes this happen.
Impact
Focused on making improvements in-country, in partnership with governments, employers and workers, we provide the data-driven guidance and support of a global alliance of experts in worker safety and health. This approach is the only effective way to create real change locally on a global scale.
Our team has conducted OSH trainings for more than 900 managers in Ethiopia, promoted knowledge exchange among key national stakeholders working in the coffee supply chains of Latin America and increased access to enhanced employment injury insurance for 198,000 garment workers in Myanmar. Collectively, in just five years, our work has helped to improve the health and safety of more than 5.6 million workers worldwide.
