HSI: Information gathered directly from workers and our in-field civil society partners
Human-Sourced Intelligence (HSI) refers to information gathered directly from people in-field as opposed to technological or documentary sources: mobile device-based worker questionnaires, worker interviews, observations, whistleblower accounts, local knowledge and trusted networks on the ground.
Building Value Chain Transparency
Ethical Labour Foundation's supply chain due diligence solution progressively builds transparency in global value chains – ‘top-down’ using AI and ‘bottom-up’ through our in-field civil society partners. We build end-to-end transparency via three complementary data threads:
Business traceability
Mapping the organisations involved in the value chain from source to end-consumer
Product traceability
Tracing how products are developed, processed or transformed (ie ‘value added’) along the value chain from source to end-consumer
Labour traceability
Understanding where workers came from; who they work for; and whether their employment is classed as ‘living wage’ including fair compensation; a safe and healthy work environment; reasonable working hours; freedom of association and collective bargaining; job security and contracts; grievance mechanisms; human dignity and respect.

Below is an overview of each of Ethical Labour Foundation’s in-field value chain programs. Specific projects underway or completed can be found within each program.
