With SAP Ariba running the largest business-to-business network on the planet, they had an opportunity to bring greater transparency into the supply chain, so that buyers and suppliers can take the appropriate action to eradicate forced labor.
They formed a partnership with a company called Made In a Free World and created a heat map that showed where forced labor conditions exist. With the ability to pair that heat map with transactional data that runs through the SAP Ariba network, we can find forced labor conditions in their supply chain and appeal to one of the greatest needs of our buyers and suppliers.
