SUPPLY CHAIN TODAY
Sustainable Global Sourcing is a for-profit company committed to the transformation of the global apparel manufacturing industry from worker exploitation and environmental degradation to partnership and environmental sustainability.

They have a partnership with the Liberian Women’s Sewing Project, a worker owned women’s sewing factory in Liberia, and also a nonprofit organization devoted to the empowerment of women in Liberia.
