HOW CAN WE GOVERN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS TO ENSURE A JUST TRANSITION TO A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY?
Katalyst Initiative aims to help civil society and policymakers to design governance capable of ensuring respect for human rights and environmental protections in globalised supply chains.
We base our work on evidence, innovation and the application of a wide range of disciplines. We aim to reimagine what supply chains that respect human rights and operate within planetary boundaries could look like – and what governance tools will be needed to achieve change.
