Using the Power of Supply Chains to End Sexual Harassment

In the year since allegations of sexual misconduct against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein shocked the public, the #MeToo movement has exposed widespread workplace sexual harassment—not just in the entertainment world, but across industries. One way that companies in every sector can clamp down on harassment is through supply chain reform. In a nutshell, this means leveraging consumer, worker, and corporate power to drive change at the companies you do business with. How will the firms up and down your supply chain find out about, and prevent, harassment in their ranks? Ask them to be specific, and to sign a joint agreement with you that you’ll take specific actions to stop harassment.
