FORCED LABOR SCREENING
Your screening checks the names.
Forced labor hides in the ownership.
Forced labor exposure doesn’t appear on a vendor questionnaire. It hides in sub-tier supplier networks, opaque ownership chains, and jurisdiction-specific corporate structures that name-based screening misses. Sayari maps the corporate infrastructure behind your supply chain.
Name-based screening reveals only surface exposure
Entity name matching misses beneficial owners, parent companies, and shell structures. A company can have zero flagged names while being owned by or trading with forced labor risk entities.
Name-based screening gaps
Opaque sub-tier ownership
You can’t see who actually owns your sub-tier suppliers. Ownership chains hide behind shell companies, nominee shareholders, and opacity in corporate registries across 250+ jurisdictions.
Static compliance snapshots
Annual screening snapshots miss ownership changes, changes in beneficial ownership, and new corporate relationships that emerge between reviews.
What our customers say
“Name-based screening is a checkbox. Real forced labor risk hides in ownership structures and beneficial owners that don’t appear in basic vendor questionnaires. Ownership tracing becomes critical at scale.”

Forced Labor Screening FAQ
Can Sayari screening integrate into our existing ESG and procurement workflows?
Yes. Sayari provides API access for integration into SAP, Coupa, and other procurement systems, as well as dedicated ESG risk management platforms. Risk findings can be pushed to your existing workflow or accessed via a centralized dashboard.
What makes ownership screening different from name-based checks?
Name-based screening matches company names against watch lists. Ownership screening traces who actually owns the company-beneficial owners, parent companies, and related parties. A company can pass name-based screening while being owned by or trading with flagged entities. Sayari combines both approaches.
How does Sayari handle corporate opacity in different jurisdictions?
Sayari integrates official corporate registry data from 250+ jurisdictions, combines it with trade data, beneficial ownership filings, and adverse media intelligence to map relationships even where nominee structures or opacity rules apply. We use cross-reference patterns and transaction data to connect hidden ownership chains.
How often does ownership data get updated?
Sayari monitors corporate registries continuously and updates beneficial ownership data as changes are filed. Most jurisdictions see ownership updates within 24-48 hours of filing. Continuous monitoring alerts flag significant changes in your vendor base in real time.
What if a vendor doesn't disclose beneficial owners on their registry?
Sayari uses multiple data sources to surface beneficial ownership: corporate filings, trade flow patterns, adverse media, regulatory disclosures, and cross-border relationship mapping. Where opacity is high, we identify high-risk patterns and flag them for due diligence.
