Core offering

Human Resources Without Borders (RHSF) is a French non-profit association that designs and runs field-based action-research programs to prevent child labour, forced labour, and indecent work in global supply chains. It delivers training for diplomatic staff, corporate partners, and HR professionals; incubates prevention solutions through the Lab 8.7 program; produces educational guides and quizzes; and operates awareness campaigns including international cartoon competitions in partnership with the ILO. Its offerings are delivered through grants, endowment fund contributions, and corporate partnerships rather than commercial sales.

Product overview

Human Resources Without Borders (RHSF) operates as a nonprofit organization focused on preventing child labour, forced labour, and indecent work in supply chains. The organization does not offer a traditional technology product but delivers a portfolio of field programs and educational tools. Core offerings include Lab 8.7, an action-research incubation program that designs and tests prevention solutions with companies and stakeholders; educational quizzes based on real case studies; prevention guides; and awareness campaigns including international cartoon competitions. Field projects like ReSolution (Malaysia) and MiraGE (France/Europe) provide practical experimentation of responsible recruitment methodologies. Training programs serve diplomatic representatives, companies, and HR professionals. The RHSF Endowment Fund supports project financing.
