Cividep

Cividep has been working on corporate accountability and workers' rights since the year 2000. Based in Bangalore, and with field-offices in other locations in South India, we safeguard the rights of communities employed in global supply chains, and strive to hold corporate entities accountable for the impacts of their business on workers and the environment. To this end, Cividep researches working conditions and corporate conduct across a range of export-oriented industries, engages in worker education, and advocates for policy change. These initiatives are focused on the garment, leather, electronics, and coffee and tea plantation sectors.
