Their holistic approach aims to heal and educate those children who have been exploited, while changing the underlying root causes. Their work has led to an overall reduction in the incidence of child labor in GoodWeave-inspected supply chains, as well as to freedom and education for children. They are also setting a roadmap with suppliers to improve working conditions for all workers. They have accomplished these results in partnership with 350 companies worldwide of which Rug Couture is one..
