Article; How Rana Plaza catalyzed a transparency movement and the lessons learned on opening data at
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-rana-plaza-catalyzed-transparency-movement-lessons-grillon/
April 24, 2023 marked the 10 year anniversary of the Rana Plaza building collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh, an industrial tragedy of unprecedented scale in which over 1,110 people died and more than 2,500 were left injured. In the immediate aftermath, activists on the ground dug through rubble trying to find clothing with tags to identify who might be held accountable. The collapse left families forever changed; husbands, wives, sisters and brothers lost; children left without mothers. While the conditions which led to the accident and the longer term worker advocacy efforts which followed have, rightly, been widely covered elsewhere, the accident led to a shift in the apparel sector. It catapulted issues of abuse and neglect in apparel supply chains into the global public consciousness, giving campaigners who had been active in this sector for many years previously a more visible platform for their activism. What did this look like in practice?

Notes, Open Supply Hub webinar
https://info.opensupplyhub.org/
Webinar Open Supply Hub (OSH)
Notes taken during webinar on November 16 2022. I am a huge fan of this project.
What is OSH
Open db of hunderds of thousands facilities
OSH Uses deduplication algo's and human checks and balances for data quality
Why OSH?
Supply chains are complex and opaque. This hides problems of our time (modern slavery, GHG emmisions, deforestation).
What's problem does OSH try to solve?
Data is messy, no universal facility ID's, information is inaccessible, gaps in coverage.
This leads to inequalities on who is allowed to work on supply chain improvement.
OSH solves these problems.
Reliable interoperable dataset.
Living in once common registry (open data)
Enables global collaboration
OSH replaces Open Apparel Registry (OAR). Data and logins have been transferred.
Focus on cross-sector overlaps at facility level.
138249 Facilties currently identified, excel download available. Tools allows to cross-reference facilities across datasets.
Uploads can be done manually by uploading CSV or Excel, or by API. Facility owners can claim their own location(s) and add information.
Country, name and adress are required. Sector/product, Facility/processing type, number of workers and parent company are optional.
Adresses are first geocoded, matched against the existing facilities and added, rejected, published as additional contribution on an existing facility profile.
New facilities are given a unique ID, for instance: US2020349V8BVNT.
How to Search OSH: https://info.opensupplyhub.org/resources/how-to-search
Companies are encouraging their suppliers to claim their facility.
It is about opening up and democratizing supply chains for social good.
