About me
Katalyst Initiative aims to assist policymakers, labour advocates, civil society actors, funders and others interested in designing the new forms of governance needed to improve protection of human rights and the environment in transnational supply chains. With garments as a test case, we hope to help ‘catalyse’ new, multi-disciplinary strategies to make 21st century supply chains fairer and more sustainable at scale.
Our work helps to replace anecdotes and guesswork about the power and financial dynamics in industries like garments with an evidence base, and guidance on what the data means for policy development. In doing so, we aim to help policymakers and civil society to identify where to focus limited governance resources in order to achieve the maximum benefits for garment workers and the environment.
