About this event
WageMap is taking the next step in making living wage data clearer and easier to use.
On 25 November, during the UN Forum on Business and Human Rights in Geneva, NewForesight will join the WageMap consortium for a breakfast event offering an early preview of the emerging WageMap platform.
The platform is being developed to bring living wage information together in one place, helping companies and practitioners access available estimates, understand methodological differences and make more informed decisions about which data to use.
This builds on the WageMap Living Wage Reference Standard, launched in 2025 to provide a common framework for understanding and assessing living wage estimation methodologies.
During the breakfast, participants will have the opportunity to preview the platform, explore how the Reference Standard is being applied, and discuss why credible and comparable living wage data matters for companies and their supply chains.
Kieran Roberts from NewForesight will be presenting at the event, sharing insights into WageMap’s development and future direction.
