On the Record
Actress and Activist Challenges Us to 'Engage When the Going Gets Rough'
The BSR Conference 2010 plenary and I³ sessions featured global experts who shared ideas on how to integrate innovation into strategy and core business.
During her energizing plenary speech, actress and human rights activist Julia Ormond discussed the importance of transparency in supply chains as a way to help stop human trafficking and slavery.
"I think we have to challenge ourselves to engage when the going gets rough. It’s not just about going to six different suppliers and saying, well, if you don’t live up to these practices then we’re going to buy from someone else. Stay. Stay where it’s bad because closing down a factory in Thailand and moving and doing the same thing somewhere else doesn’t actually drive best practices. It doesn’t help the poor people on the ground."
—Julia Ormond, Actress, and Founder and President, Alliance to Stop Slavery and End Trafficking (ASSET) (November 3, 2010)
