Your suppliers are certified.
Their owners are not.

Consumer goods companies face mandatory human rights due diligence, UFLPA forced labor compliance, and growing pressure from major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Costco requiring supply chain transparency and ownership verification. Sayari connects trade data to corporate ownership across your full supplier network — so you can make credible sourcing statements.

Consumer · CORE CHALLENGES

The exposure your current tools don’t surface.

UFLPA exposure in apparel, footwear, and home goods supply chains

Consumer products manufactured with cotton, polysilicon, or other inputs from the Xinjiang region carry UFLPA presumption of forced labor — regardless of where the final assembly occurs or who the direct supplier is.

Unauthorized subcontracting by approved suppliers

Approved contract manufacturers frequently subcontract production to unauthorized factories without disclosure — factories that may use forced labor, fail audit standards, or be owned by restricted parties.

Sourcing agent opacity in consumer goods procurement

Consumer goods sourcing agents and trading companies operate as intermediaries between brands and factories. Their ownership — and the factory relationships behind them — is rarely disclosed voluntarily.

THE SAYARI APPROACH

Verify the ownership behind your consumer goods supply chain.

Sayari connects import transaction data to the corporate ownership structures behind your consumer goods suppliers — enabling brands and retailers to identify forced labor exposure, unauthorized subcontracting, and undisclosed factory ownership at every tier of the supply chain. Beyond regulatory compliance, supply chain transparency protects brand reputation from reputational risk, helping marketing and sustainability teams demonstrate authentic ESG commitments to consumers and investors.

Factory and supplier beneficial ownership verification

Verify the disclosed ownership of contract manufacturers and sourcing agents against primary-source corporate registry data — identifying undisclosed government affiliations, sanctioned-party connections, and related-party conflicts.

UFLPA supply chain traceability for consumer inputs

Trace consumer goods manufacturing inputs from approved suppliers through to the actual factory and raw material source — identifying Xinjiang nexus and forced labor risk indicators at every tier.

Unauthorized subcontracting detection through trade data

Identify unauthorized subcontracting by connecting import transaction data to the corporate ownership of the actual manufacturing entities behind your approved suppliers.

ESG and investor-grade supply chain documentation

Sayari’s primary-source investigation records provide the documentation basis for mandatory human rights due diligence filings, retailer supply chain audits, and ESG disclosure requirements.
