What is Remediation?

Even when employers have effective social compliance systems in place, it is difficult to control for every risk. Responsible employers also need a plan to support workers in accessing remedy (or “remediation”) should a violation occur that they have caused, contributed to, or are directly linked to through their supply chain or activities.

Remediation is generally not achieved by the actions of a single company or organization, but by building on the strengths and capacities of partner organizations and national authorities. Sustentar works with companies, government entities, and civil society organizations to help build connections between them that will support effective access to remediation for workers in Mexico’s tomato and chile pepper industries.
