How does Working Capital Fund define supply chain accountability?
Supply chain accountability means that multinationals, brands, buyers, and others with influence in supply chains take responsibility for labor and human rights issues in their supply chains. The benchmark we use is the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, which defines what a business is responsible for and under what circumstances. Expectations for supply chain accountability are shifting, which is why Working Capital Fund invests in scalable solutions that can evolve to meet these needs.
What is Working Capital Fund’s relationship with The Omidyar Group?
Working Capital Fund was initially incubated by Humanity United – founded by The Omidyar Group, a diverse collection of independent organizations and initiatives. Working Capital chooses and manages its portfolio independently of Humanity United and The Omidyar Group.
