The Grace Farms Foundation, a Connecticut-based organization, announced today its new initiative to raise awareness about the use of forced labor in the manufacture of building products.
The Foundation has convened professionals from architecture, design, engineering, and related fields to form the new Grace Farms Foundation Architecture + Construction Working Group, which aims to suppress modern-day slavery by scrutinizing the supply chain of materials used in construction. The group plans to develop a list of “slave-free” project specifications and metrics, as well as an outline of criteria for responsible sourcing, in order to help architects, engineers, construction professionals and other stakeholders to avoid materials that were produced with forced labor.
