Example in Action: USG's Responsible Sourcing Tool Sample Code of Conduct

The U.S. State Department’s Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, in collaboration with Verité, the Aspen Institute, and Made in a Free World, re-launched the Responsible Sourcing Tool (RST) in 2022. The RST provides free information and tools to help companies, federal contractors, contracting professionals, and others understand and prevent the risks of human trafficking in supply chains. The following tools from the RST may be useful when designing a code of conduct or an IFA:
