WORK
Vivien Luk is the Executive Director at WORK, an organization whose mission is to accompany families in Haiti and beyond to end poverty through dignified work. WORK’s First Mile Program brings its mission to life for informal collectors of raw materials in global value chains. Under Vivien’s direction, the organization has mapped and assessed dozens of supply chains globally. The work has led to improved traceability and transparency for brand partners, lives and livelihoods for workers, and business performance for aggregators and recyclers. The organization works in communities and projects all over the world, with its flagship program in Haiti and current focus in Taiwan, Ghana, South and SouthEast Asia, and the United States.
WORK also advises brands, NGOs, and investment firms to address and improve human rights and responsible sourcing standards in human-powered material supply chains globally. This includes creating the Human Rights Framework for Global Plastics Value Chains for Unilever, open-source tools for Tearfund for the Fair Circularity Initiative and serving as a subject matter expert and implementation partner for the Responsible Sourcing Initiative convened by The Circulate Initiative.
