GoodWeave International works to stop child labor in global supply chains, permanently. Our mission and values, which put vulnerable children at the center of all that we do, and our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusivity, guide practices across our grassroots-to-global organization.

GoodWeave is steadfast in its commitment to nurturing a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for our staff in all decision-making bodies and processes.

Organizationally, we uphold our policy of equal employment, advancement, and leadership opportunity. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination.

In our work, we aim to represent and reflect the communities whom we serve by engaging diverse stakeholders up and down the supply chain – from the home-based worker to the end consumer. Child labor and intertwined issues of forced and bonded labor are substantially rooted in discrimination – both in international business practices and societal norms. We believe in an inclusive approach that engages people with lived experience; worker and community representatives; human rights, gender, climate, and regional experts; civil society, government, and private sector representatives; and other key stakeholders. We seek to ensure sustainable impact by advancing the rights, needs, and voices of the marginalized children and communities whom we serve.

We firmly believe that diversity fuels innovation, equity drives opportunity, and inclusivity fosters a sense of belonging. With our team members, partners, and stakeholders, and through our operations and programming, we seek to create a world where everyone can thrive and flourish.
