Measuring impact of responsible sourcing on workers - AIM-PROGRESS releases new tool

For mobile survey collection, &Wider and Laborlink are already familiar with the Worker Wellbeing Assessment tool. Other providers who are also available to conduct the worker survey include Ulula and Workplace Options.
