The Social Responsibility Alliance & the STRT
The Social Responsibility Alliance & the STRTThe Social Responsibility Alliance (SRA) is an initiative focused on providing companies with the tools and resources they need to achieve socially responsible supply chains. The SRA works to facilitate the collection of human rights and labor rights data, helping companies and their supply chains to work towards more ethical operations. The STRT is a free, open-source tool provided by the SRA. The STRT was developed and is maintained by the STRT Development Committee. This committee is comprised of a consensus-based group of organizations focused on eradicating trafficking and slavery from supply chains. The Development Committee creates, updates and maintains versions of the STRT to ensure it meets the data collection needs of companies and supply chains across industry.
