New America, a non-partisan think tank in the US, Harvard University and Levi Strauss & Co. have collaborated to develop a blockchain-based solution which aims to enhance worker welfare in the companies.

The three partners have stated their intent to have an annual blockchain-based worker survey system that will provide a transparent evaluation of the working conditions in the factories.

The Ethereum blockchain company Consensys will develop the blockchain-based survey which will use an index built by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

As reported by Reuters, the project is being funded by a US State Department with the first and second pilots scheduled to be tested in Q2 2019 and 2020 respectively.
