Founded in 2012, the Economic Rights Institute supports alliances to actualize development that respects the rights of all. We design methods & tools to strengthen multi-tiered discussions: between employees & management, NGOs & the business community, buyers & suppliers. We put the insights & momentum of these discussions in the pursuit of solutions to foster the conditions for better work.

Down the rabbit hole we go
In our previous piece, the Economic Rights Institute suggested using suppliers’ client composition could identify the risk of serious workers’ rights issues. To shed further light on this, in this piece, we explore Microsoft’s suppliers.
The first results highlight how some suppliers’ impressive evolution is intertwined with the government’s own efforts to support China’s economic rise. We admire these efforts and their successes. But the concurrence of these projects with serious workers’ rights issues begs questions we will not ignore.
