SUPPLY CHAIN CONCERNS SAND & AGGREGATE

Sand’s ITUC breakdown shows that it was largely sourced from the US and Canada. While Canada has an ITUC of 3.0, the US is 4.0 which depicts high risk for labor exploitation. The GSI for sand is 1.3 which is on the lower end largely due to Canada’s GSI being 0.47.

For Aggregate, the ITUC breakdown reveals that it could be partly sourced from Honduras which is the highest ITUC score in the list. Apart from that the US is a 4.0 and the other four countries are 3.0 or 2.0. The ITUC for aggregate is 4.0 which leads me to believe that it is more probable that it came from the United States coupled with one of the countries with a 3.0 or 5.0 score. The GSI for aggregate is 1.3 which is relatively low. The highest score goes to Honduras again at 3.35 while Mexico, Jamaica, and Canada are all below 3. Because the score is low at 1.3, it leads me to keep the belief that it was largely sourced from America with its score at 1.26.
