BERKELEY— The US-based Responsible Sourcing Network (RSN) non-profit has transitioned its YESS (Yarn Ethically and Sustainably Sourced) project, which aims to eliminate forced labour in the cotton industry, to a multi-stakeholder membership model.
RSN has developed YESS over several years with support from brand sponsorships; grants from Humanity United, Disney and the Fair Labor Association; and backing from the US Department of Labor-funded Verité STREAMS project.
