December 28, 2023- December is World Human Rights Month, a celebration of the anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a landmark document drafted by representatives of all regions of the world, outlining inalienable rights that must be protected. The Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly in Paris on December 10, 1948.
Cardinal Health strives to protect human rights throughout the company’s supply chain. As Human Rights Month comes to a close, I’m proud to shine a light on the Responsible Glove Alliance (RGA), which plays an important role in this work. Cardinal Health and six other companies launched this collaborative initiative in March 2022, to mitigate workers’ rights risks within the rubber gloves industry. Today, the RGA has grown to 10 member companies.
