In June this year, Open Supply Hub (OS Hub) launched its beta phase with an aim to enable more transparency in supply chains the world over.
Starting off as Open Apparel Registry (OAR) in 2019, the non-profit had solely focused on the apparel sector. As it transitions to OS Hub later this year, the non-profit aims to expand its core focus to permeate into and include more industries. Boasting of clients like Amazon and Target OS Hub targets tackling problematic areas rife within global supply chains, including issues of human rights and environmental issues and aspiring to become a “central source of truth” in terms of supply chain data for companies across the globe.
The STAT Trade Times caught up with Katie Shaw, OS Hub’s Chief Programme Officer, on what lies ahead for OS Hub and the state of global supply chains today.
How does the lack of open and standardised data in the global supply chain contribute to issues such as forced and child labour, increased GHG emissions and deforestation?
