Ask the workers
all the workers, all the time
We connect workers to you, so that you know how they are treated in your supply chains and workplaces.
It is a continuous connection - not a survey.
​
Workers tell us, we tell you. It is a breakthrough in HRDD, modern slavery detection and labour-rights monitoring.
​​​
Data-driven technology that covers all the workers, all the time to detect human rights issues in your supply chains as they arise, to monitor the effectiveness of remedy and whether it is sustained.
​​
There's "no reason not to know".​
Try out our interactive AI chat to ask any questions (any!) that you might have. You should see it at the bottom of your screen. It is powered by AI, and so will respond sensibly. If it doesn't make sense or offends (AI can make mistakes), please send us an email - as we can put additional guardrails in place at our end.

ES3G / Ask the workers"
A mobile app enables workers to tell Ask the workers how they are being treated; Ask the workers then passes the data on to multinationals at the top of the supply chain who can see whether they are complying with worker protection requirements.
