LaborShield

LaborShield is a comprehensive resource developed by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) to power American job creation by exposing foreign goods made with unfair trade practices. This app puts ILAB’s research right at the fingertips of American enterprise, showing labor risks in more than 145 countries and helping U.S. businesses pinpoint exactly where problems might occur. With country and sector-specific insights, LaborShield empowers companies to self-assess their supply chains, spot red flags early, and take action before foreign labor abuses harm their reputation or America’s workers. Key things you can do with this app are:

1. Identify foreign goods made with labor abuses;
2. Strengthen supply chain resilience;
3. Prevent the procurement and importation of goods made with forced labor;
4. Review whether countries have strong laws and enforcement efforts;
5. See what businesses can do to mitigate reputational damage.
