What Stronger Together does

Stronger Together is a UK non-profit (company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales; Company Registration No. 11598061) headquartered in Camberley, Surrey, founded around 2013–2015. The organisation enables businesses to embed responsible recruitment and employment practices and to mitigate labour exploitation — including modern slavery, forced labour, and worker-paid recruitment fees — across their operations and supply chains. Its client base spans enterprises in high-risk sectors including UK apparel, construction, consumer goods, warehousing, and labour provision, as well as Italian wine, Mexican/Costa Rican agriculture, South African agriculture, US fresh produce, and Spanish agriculture.

The core technology asset is the Stronger Together 360° online capacity-building tool (formerly the Responsible Recruitment Toolkit Online Tool), which provides a 6-stage Strategy and Due Diligence Framework, 14 Responsible Recruitment and Fair Work Standards, self-assessment, benchmarking, action planning, and supplier connectivity. It is complemented by 300+ multilingual resources, a Resource Library, interactive eLearning courses delivered via a dedicated LMS, expert-led live workshops and in-house training, free webinars, the Business Partner membership scheme (Standard, Advanced, Verified tiers with annual evidence upload), Organisational Progress Assessments (OPA), and the Clearview responsible-recruitment certification. AAALP — the American Association of AgLabor Providers — operates as a US sub-brand offering 12 e-learning modules to farm labour contractors.

The organisation operates a hybrid subscription and professional-services revenue model: tiered annual subscriptions for the 360° tool and Business Partner membership (Standard tier free, higher tiers paid), workshop and bespoke consultancy fees, paid eLearning/membership subscriptions, and one-time resource/toolkit sales. Distribution is direct-to-enterprise via self-serve digital tools, field sales for workshops and consultancy, and channel partners including three Scandinavian state alcohol monopolies (Systembolaget, Vinmonopolet, Alko), Bonsucro, GLOBALG.A.P., Sedex, BRC, and 50+ other Programme Sponsors and Supporting Partners such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, ASDA, Morrisons, M&S, John Lewis Partnership, Aldi, Lidl, Co-op, Ocado, and The Very Group.
