  • About Design for Freedom

Construction is the #1 industrial sector at risk of forced labor. Every day, materials that are made with forced labor make their way into our buildings, homes, and landscapes.

The Design for Freedom movement is mobilizing the full ecosystem of architectural, engineering, and construction professionals to eliminate forced labor in the building materials supply chain, create true market transformation, and build a more equitable future.
