Verité Supply Chain Traceability Matrix
Website Design
Committed to ensuring safe, fair, and legal working conditions for individuals worldwide, Verité began, and continues to lead, an initiative called the Supply Chain Tracing and Engagement Methodologies (STREAMS) Project. As part of that initiative, The Verité Supply Chain Traceability Matrix was created to help governments and civil society advocates design feasible traceability systems that can provide the information needed to support human and labor rights efforts in the context of diverse global supply chains. The website needed to serve two purposes:
1. Provide traceability approaches that help combat forced labor
2. Identify relevant labor risks within specific supply chains that need increased transparency
As part of the Gravity Switch agency, my responsibility was to distill large amounts of information and long-form narrative content into an engaging, accessible, user-friendly experience that allows for site visitors to easily find and read through resources applicable to their supply chains. I used the following techniques and solutions to meet the site’s goals:
— Build a simple, streamlined navigation that allows site visitors to easily research information relevant to their needs
— Reduce the barrier to accessing information through a prominent search component in both the site navigation and faceted filter pages
— Leverage accordion and tab panel components to reduce clutter and present blocks of data in a parseable manner
— Integrate visual graphics, such as linear pathways and icons, that reinforced and illustrated concepts being presented
— Create a summary component highlighting a section’s key points to make long-form content easily scannable
— Design a table of contents component to allow long-form content to be easily navigable
