Your approach

Turn the forced labour ban into a working process

You do not need a separate forced labor program. Worldfavor extends the due diligence process you already run, from first risk signal to the evidence trail an authority would ask to see.

Risk identification

Prioritize where forced labor risk is most likely

Our Modern Slavery Risk Index surfaces signals by country and sector, and shows the source behind each score.

Supplier engagement

See where the risk sits before you engage

AI screening ranks your supplier base first, so your team spends its hours where the risk signals are.

Documentation and evidence

Share the same evidence with anyone who asks

Every result and action stays exportable, so the same evidence serves an auditor, a buyer or your board.

What your team gets

Everything a forced labor due diligence process needs, in one place

From first supplier screening to the evidence trail an authority would ask for, your team runs it from one system.

Your high-risk suppliers, identified before you reach out

You start from a ranked list, not a spreadsheet, so your first week of work goes where the risk is.

Less time spent reviewing each supplier

You read structured answers rather than chasing attachments, so each supplier takes minutes, not hours.

One supplier touchpoint that scales each cycle

You widen the scope year after year on the same process, without rebuilding it or adding headcount.
