Libera Europe Human Rights Intelligence

Enterprise intelligence for supply chain risk, worker protection and human rights due diligence.

Forced labour software for global supply chains

Identify supply chain risks. Give workers a voice. Turn signals into action.

For procurement, compliance and human-rights teams: Libera screens suppliers and sites for forced-labour risk, gives their workers a confidential way to report concerns by QR code, web link or shared kiosk, and helps your team investigate, fix and document what it finds. Software flags patterns; a person makes every decision.

Fictional construction group: 40 suppliers, 300 workers, cases and remediation. Demo data only — no customer results.

What Libera does

Each feature, with its honest status.

“Available” means it works in the product today. “Demo only” runs on fictional data. “Not configured” means the code or plan exists but it is not switched on.

Corporate pilot · 8–12 weeks

Try it on a defined part of your supply chain.

  1. Weeks 1–2: set up suppliers and sites, run screening.
  2. Weeks 2–4: place QR posters or a kiosk and check they are reachable.
  3. Weeks 4–10: receive signals, review cases, assign actions.
  4. Final weeks: joint review of what worked, with documented results.

Indicative price €1,500–€5,000 depending on scope. Worker access is always free. A pilot does not guarantee legal compliance or a set number of reports.

A new operational layer

Between the boardroom and the factory floor.

Compliance decisions are made far from where work happens. Libera is built as the connecting layer: one place where supplier risk, worker access and signals, investigations and remediation meet — across the countries in your supply chain.

Regions shown are illustrative. Libera does not replace site audits, local authorities or human judgement.

The category, in plain terms

What is forced labour software?

Forced labour software helps companies find, review and respond to the risk of forced labour in their supply chains. Useful tools go beyond a supplier questionnaire: they connect structural risk data with what workers report, route concerns to people who can investigate, and keep a record of what was done.

Libera approaches it as one chain — supplier, site and labour-provider mapping, risk screening, worker access, confidential signals, human review, evidence and remediation — ending in a documented due-diligence record. Read the scoring methodology, the risk assessment method or the EU Forced Labour Regulation guide.

What serious forced labour software should help you do

  1. 01

    Map who actually does the work

    Suppliers, sites and the labour providers and recruitment agencies behind them — not only tier-1 contracts.

  2. 02

    Separate structural risk from worker signals

    Country, sector and recruitment-model risk says where conditions are likely. Worker-originated signals say what people on site are reporting. Both matter; neither replaces the other.

  3. 03

    Check that workers can reach a channel

    Zero reports only means something if the channel was available at the site. Access verification records whether it was.

  4. 04

    Route signals to human review

    Indicators prompt investigation by a named person with a written rationale — never an automated verdict.

  5. 05

    Track remediation and effectiveness

    Owned, dated actions, with claimed and verified outcomes kept apart.

  6. 06

    Keep one dated evidence record

    So the answer to “what did you actually do?” is already documented, open issues included.

Where software stops and human judgement begins

  • Software like Libera can

    Prioritise suppliers and sites using named risk factors

    It cannot

    Decide that forced labour exists at a supplier

  • Software like Libera can

    Collect confidential, identity-minimised worker signals

    It cannot

    Guarantee a reporter's safety or perfect anonymity

  • Software like Libera can

    Group signals and open human-reviewed cases

    It cannot

    Replace site audits, investigators or local authorities

  • Software like Libera can

    Document evidence, decisions and remediation over time

    It cannot

    Determine legal compliance with EUFLR, CSDDD, UFLPA or any law

Looking for one part of the workflow? See supplier risk screening, worker reporting software, human rights due diligence software why zero reports is not zero risk, how Worker Access Verification works, or how the Evidence Chain and Due Diligence Passport are defined.

Most companies don't have a forced-labour data problem. They have a visibility problem.

Libera connects supplier risk, sites, labour providers, worker access and confidential worker signals with investigations, evidence and remediation — so people can act, and the response becomes part of the record. It does not decide that forced labour exists; it makes the relationships behind risk visible enough to review.

When someone asks “What did you actually do?”, the answer is already there.

One evidence trail · ten stages

From a supplier list to a documented response.

Follow one fictional pattern — Factory 17 and Agency M4 — through every stage. Each step feeds the next, and every step stays reviewable by a person.

  1. 01/Global supply chain

    Start with the relationships, not the spreadsheet.

    Import suppliers, sites and labour providers. Each node carries a country, sector, workforce size and recruitment model — and the links between them.

  2. 02/Risk detected

    Every node screened against the ILO indicators.

    Country prevalence, sector intensity, official lists and your own operating model combine into a traceable score. A reviewer can always see which factor moved it.

  3. 03/Worker access

    A confidential channel on the floor, verified to be there.

    A translated introduction reaches employees by email, then QR access points are placed in safe, frequently used areas. Checks record whether access was actually available.

    Small signals that look minor on their own.

    Reports ask for no name or phone number. Management sees grouped indicator counts — never the personal story behind them.

Compliance cannot stop at the boardroom.

Every rollout connects the console to the real workplace: a personal introduction for every employee, then multilingual QR access points. Workers need no app or account.

See the worker channel →
  1. 01

    Video onboarding by email

    Before launch, employees receive a short introduction video in their own language, sent by their employer. It explains how the channel works, that reporting is voluntary and what management can and cannot see.

  2. 02

    Local coordinator deployment

    Where agreed for a pilot, a local coordinator places the site's QR posters in safe, frequently used areas such as canteens or break rooms. Coordinators do not collect reports or personal stories.

  3. 03

    Verifiable access checks

    Access can be checked, announced or unannounced, by a coordinator or an independent auditor, and recorded in the console as plain metadata. Zero reports is not automatically reassuring while worker access is unverified.

Libera does not carry out site inspections and claims no inspection powers. A verified check evidences that the channel was available at the agreed access points; it does not prove that every worker saw or used it, and it is never in itself a finding about a supplier.

The scale

Forced labour is a supply chain problem before it is a criminal one.

Scoring framework

The eleven ILO indicators of forced labour

  • 01Abuse of vulnerability
  • 02Deception
  • 03Restriction of movement
  • 04Isolation
  • 05Physical and sexual violence
  • 06Intimidation and threats
  • 07Retention of identity documents
  • 08Withholding of wages
  • 09Debt bondage
  • 10Abusive working and living conditions
  • 11Excessive overtime

What this is, and is not

Libera produces indicators of elevated risk, not legal accusations.

Scores are built from published ILO, Walk Free and US DOL data so a reviewer can always trace why a supplier moved — and decide, as a human, what to do next. The Due Diligence Passport supports audit and review; it is not a compliance certificate.

Regulatory landscape

Due diligence stopped being voluntary.

Questions

Does Libera accuse suppliers of human trafficking?+

No. The platform produces risk indicators that require human verification. A HIGH score means the conditions associated with forced labour are present, not that an offence has occurred. Every export carries that wording.

Is a worker report traceable back to the person who sent it?+

The reporting page asks for no name, phone number or location, and the supplier does not see individual reports — only aggregated indicator counts once a cluster threshold is met. We call the channel confidential rather than promise perfect anonymity.

Which frameworks does the documentation support?+

Reports are structured around the ILO indicators of forced labour and map to CSDDD, the EU Forced Labour Regulation, UFLPA, the UK Modern Slavery Act, the German LkSG and the Norwegian Transparency Act.

What happens when something serious is reported?+

The case is flagged for investigation in the console with an audit trail of who saw it and what was done. Libera is a due diligence tool, not an emergency service — urgent danger belongs with local authorities or a national helpline.
