OVERALL STRUCTURAL RESULTS - GSI

The Global Slavery Index (GSI) measures the extent of modern slavery country by country, and the steps governments are taking to respond to this issue, to objectively measure progress toward ending modern slavery.

The U.S. risk for modern slavery is at a relatively good level globally at around 1.3. In some high risk countries the index reaches 10+.

When focusing on the GSI scores of theAmy Guttman Hall, it can be seen that the vast majority of structural materials have a modern slavery index of less than 2. Aggregate, Coal, and Sand are around 1.3, and Timber is around 0-0.5 depending on the distribution of mass.This represents that those materials are likely sourced largely from countries with a relatively low risk for modern slavery. Zinc (1.9 the highest GSI for the building) has a problematic source but the mass in the building is so low that it is unlikely that it was sourced from a country with a high risk. Cement and steel are present in higher quantities but they have medium GSI scores of 1.6 & 1.7.
