This is ASTA's checklist for responsible sourcing, which accompanies ASTA's Responsible Sourcing Guide. It includes a checklist on information on voluntary employment, working conditions, child labor, wages and working hours/acceptable housing, anti-discrimination policies, environmental management, and other responsible sourcing issues. The checklist was updated in 2025 and replaces the previous version from 2015.

This presentation was provided at the 2021 Fall Meeting & Exhibits in October. The presenters, Greg Metschke, Chandri Navarro, Pontus Mattsson, Abdullah Munir, and Suzanne Munson, presented on preventing forced labor and promoting human rights, including information on the Sustainable Spices Initiative (SSI), ESG pressure on supply chains, US legislative and regulatory changes, TFTE, forced labor enforcement, and how to prepare for a WRO.
