Volunteers wanted
WikiRate is looking for engaged contributors who can donate their time and research skills to collectively build a public sustainability database that creates open access to information on company impacts and helps us as a society hold companies accountable.
We are currently in need of support for our apparel sector research. Depending on your interests, there is a wide range of topics within the sector to choose from — from climate change and environmental issues, to human rights and responsible supply chains.
Research gathered here will be combined with information coming from supply chain workers themselves, in an attempt to see how brand promises and reality align.
About the project
Transparency on key issues such as living wages and human rights across the supply chain is patchy and performance data is difficult to locate. This research aims to create a holistic, public picture of how the largest apparel companies are operating and reporting, and map the information gaps, across their supply chains.
As a contributor, you can support by dedicating time to researching one or more of the companies listed in the project, over one or more years.
The idea is to understand not only how companies are operating now, but how that has changed over time and showcase areas that need improvements.
You may be able to research only one year or some of the questions, but others can pick up where you left off.
Getting Started
A few minutes of your time can help us tackle all the data we need to showcase areas that need improvements. All you need to get involved is a computer with internet access.
If you are comfortable exploring new tools and platforms, all you need to do is to sign up to join the WikiRate community. Then go to the Project Page and follow the steps provided on the left panel and start right away!
