Beyond Checklists and Handshakes
Most corporate efforts to fix labor abuses in global supply chains focus on audits or supplier partnerships, but these approaches rarely address the underlying power dynamics that allow exploitation to persist.

Real change requires binding enforcement, shared governance, and transparency, not more checklists or goodwill handshakes.
