Worker WELL-BEING PROGRAMS

Supporting Workers Globally

Working with factories to deliver better lives for workers is at the core of the Ethical Supply Chain Program. Our Worker Well-Being programs improve the safety and well-being of workers employed at toy factories around the world.

Priortising the needs of your workforce

Our worker well-being programs are designed to create meaningful change for supply chain workers worldwide. By working closely with factories, we identify key challenges employees face—from access to childcare to equitable workplace policies—and develop targeted solutions that improve their quality of life. Through collaboration with businesses of all sizes, we help build safer, more supportive working environments that benefit both workers and employers.

A needs-based approach drives our initiatives, ensuring that programs directly address the realities of workers' lives. From employer-funded childcare to parental training and women’s empowerment initiatives, we implement practical solutions that make a lasting impact.
