Our Methodology

Update: March 7, 2025:
Risk signals come to Supply Trace from authoritative researchers across global institutions and organizations. As academics, we cite our sources to empower users with access to high-quality research findings for more robust due diligence. Since the publication of our original methodology, we are in the process of formalizing a partnership with a new research institution with whom to publish further insights into forced labor connections to Xinjiang, building on the initial work at Sheffield Hallam University (SHU). Timely research backed by academic rigor is at the heart of Supply Trace, and we will continue to update the platform as information is produced.
