Successful TenSquared worker-manager projects improve factory safety, inspire new cohort

Since 2013, our TenSquared program has equipped workers and managers with the tools to improve and strengthen relations in the workplace.

Tools include: Supplier Production Capacity Calculator, Responsible Subcontracting Overview & Guidelines, Responsible Purchasing Practices Guidelines & Checklist, and Mutual Buyer-Supplier Code of Conduct.
