This report captures learnings from a project led by GoodWeave to develop a rapid assessment tool to detect forced and bonded labour (FBL), and shares general recommendations for those working to improve FBL detection in different sectors. 

Sustainability systems are positioned to advance human rights protections in specific geographies and commodities through verification and remediation of human rights violations, such as forced and bonded labour. However to ensure impact, detecting those violations is central and often elusive. 

Developed by GoodWeave under the project Detecting forced and bonded labour through a rapid assessment tool (2021-2022), supported by the ISEAL Innovations Fund and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO.
