Empowering Workers and Protecting Businesses
A Confidential Channel to Prevent Harm and Reduce Child Labor Risks
Introducing Dignia
Built by LRQA in collaboration with major retailers and leading NGOs, Dignia combines confidential worker reporting, expert remediation, and real-time data insights to deliver transparency, accountability, and measurable impact.
Together, We Can Protect Workers and Mitigate Child Labor
Dignia makes it possible for workers to be heard—and for brands to take meaningful action.
A safer, more responsible supply chain begins with trusted communication.
Why Dignia? A Growing Need for Protection in U.S. Workplaces
Recent investigations highlight a troubling rise in child labor cases across the country. Sensitive issues like child labor, exploitation, and harassment often go undetected through standard social audits—leaving workers without safe avenues for reporting.
The need is urgent:
- The Department of Labor reported an 88% rise in child labor violations between 2019 and 2023.
- In FY2024 alone, over 4,000 child labor violations were recorded.
Dignia fills a critical gap—providing a confidential helpline workers' trust and a proactive risk-detection tool which brands need.
A Multi-Channel Platform for Safer U.S. Supply Chains
Dignia equips brands and suppliers with an expert-driven grievance and remediation system that strengthens risk identification and management across U.S. supply chains.
