We believe that the implementation of worker's life improvement programs can shift an organization’s mindset from the existing 'audit-violation-correction' compliance cycle to a more proactive, holistic approach to business. Moreover, worker life improvement programs can not only improve your workers' quality of life, but also your supply chain’s overall performance and profitability. Transparency, loyalty, product quality, reduced conflicts, and lower absenteeism are just a few examples of the outcomes of a successful worker's life improvement program. 

EthoWork has extensive experience implementing workers' social programs in Mexico, Central America, and China for top apparel brands. We can help your company craft and implement a customized worker life improvement program that focuses on the specific needs of your workers and their communities. We'll partner with NGOs, regional universities, local government officials, and other key stakeholders to ensure the life improvement of your workers goes beyond the factory’s walls. 

As a member of The Ellen MacArthur Foundation's Circular Economy Community, EthoWork is well-equipped to help you move toward circularity in your business. From strategy to implementation, our expert team offers a comprehensive analysis that starts with a deep understanding of your business priorities and current circularity status. Through this, we facilitate a new vision that better defines the sustainability intention for your company through the lens of the circular economy. We'll help you define how your company can contribute to circularity through its three principles of regenerating natural systems, designing out waste and pollution, and keeping materials and products in use longer. 

EthoWork will collaborate and educate your teams and business units to deploy life cycle assessments to help you comply with upcoming EU digital passport rules, set objectives and KPIs, and use the Balanced Scorecard as a tool for strategic planning.

We'll help you to move your company closer to full circularity.

Outsourcing the monitoring process for your supply chain can bring immediate benefits to your organization. Our trusted experts will manage your supply chain's due diligence and performance to allow you to focus on your core business. EthoWork provides you with an independent viewpoint to your factory audit results, which eliminates the possibility of conflict of interest between your auditing house and the factory during remediation. 

EthoWork's supply chain due diligence outsourcing services are comprehensive. We'll help you to source and schedule reliable and ethical in-country social and environmental audits, compare results to benchmarks, recommend factory designation status, and remediate until agreed-upon actions in the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) are finalized. We'll also coach and mentor your factory leadership based on root cause analysis (RCA), and provide capacity-building solutions and open help desk services throughout the entire remediation process.
