Counter Forced Labor Technologies Achieves Notable Recognition for Human Trafficking Prevention Efforts

Counter Forced Labor Technologies Recognized for Excellence in Anti-Trafficking Efforts

Counter Forced Labor Technologies (CFLT), proudly owned by women and disabled veterans, has recently been honored with the Prevention & Awareness Award from A21 and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. This prestigious award celebrates organizations that make significant contributions to combatting human trafficking and forced labor worldwide. CFLT's innovative approaches, particularly the groundbreaking Global Rizk Assessment Technology™ (GRAT), highlight its commitment towards improving human rights in supply chains.

This recognition underscores CFLT's impact on global anti-trafficking initiatives, with a particular focus on aiding corporations in identifying and mitigating forced labor within their supply chains. The company was chosen for the award due to its expansive reach, sophisticated AI-driven risk analytics, and partnerships with various governments and international organizations. Through meticulous evaluation techniques, CFLT transforms complex supply chain data into essential intelligence, preventing exploitation and protecting vulnerable workers.

Linda Rizk, the Founder and CEO of CFLT, stated, "This award validates our mission and reinforces the notion that businesses can indeed drive global human rights initiatives. Prevention starts with understanding. When businesses are equipped with the capability to see the risks in their supply chains, they can take effective actions to safeguard workers and foster a more ethical economy. Receiving this acknowledgment from esteemed organizations like A21 and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a profound honor for us."

CFLT's proprietary GRAT platform is at the forefront of redefining due diligence and human rights compliance within corporate frameworks. By utilizing advanced artificial intelligence models, predictive analytics, geospatial information, and a multi-tier supplier mapping system, GRAT offers in-depth insights into labor practices at all levels of production.

The platform helps businesses identify risk hotspots and establishes targeted corrective action plans, benchmarking tools, scorecards, and audit pathways for continuous improvement across complex supply chains. This award-winning strategy led to significant compliance enhancements for a mid-sized manufacturer that implemented CFLT’s recommendations following the GRAT analysis.

As January is observed as National Human Trafficking Awareness Month, CFLT also unveiled its Exclusive Winter Journal. This publication highlights the vital role of informed leadership in maintaining transparent supply chains and combating modern-day slavery. One fascinating insight included in the journal discusses how Generation Z consumers are reshaping expectations for corporate accountability and ethical sourcing.

Moreover, the journal examines the persistent issues of cotton production and child labor, showcasing troubling statistics surrounding forced and child labor prevalent in this widely utilized commodity. By releasing this journal during a month dedicated to awareness, CFLT furthers its mission to empower businesses, policymakers, and consumers with the necessary insights to recognize risks and effectuate substantial systemic change.

Rizk added, "This recognition reflects the dedication of our global team, allied partners, and the enterprises that choose to uphold integrity in their operations. Although forced labor represents a significant international issue, the pathway to prevention becomes clear when collaborative technology, accountability, and concerted efforts converge."

Looking forward, CFLT plans to broaden the functionalities of its GRAT platform, enhance global partnerships, and assist corporations in promoting transparency and accountability in their supply chains. For organizations eager to bolster their compliance frameworks or enhance visibility into high-risk sourcing locales, CFLT invites business leaders to engage with the GRAT platform, explore the insights presented in the Winter Journal, and join forces in the pursuit of ethical global commerce.
