Nest’s Research and Advocacy initiatives aim to bring industry and public awareness to the often overlooked and under-represented handworker sector.
Fueled by a human-centric approach that places beneficiaries at the heart of our research design and methodology, we are committed to amplifying data-driven advocacy and thought leadership through strategic partnerships with industry leaders, academia, and other NGOs.
From thought leadership pieces to concise research briefs and full reports, Nest’s publications investigate research topics that are timely and important to the sector and aim to synthesize results in a way that can be conveyed with ease to any audience.
FEATURED RESOURCE
Chris van Bergen, Nest’s Chief Finance and Operations Officer, has written the first comprehensive look at responsible sourcing and supply chain certifications. In Certifiable: How Businesses Operationalize Responsible Sourcing, Chris offers a roadmap to create, implement, and audit transformative socially responsible sourcing practices.
An engaging exploration of supply chain transparency and corporate social responsibility, we believe Certifiable belongs on the bookshelves of business leaders guiding transformative change for their brands.
