Hidden in supply chains to avoid detection

When it comes to disguising their crimes and preserving profits, traffickers are highly sophisticated. They know global supply chains offer the best cover for masking the illegal forced labour that keeps them in business. And because traffickers are adroit at hiding their practices, businesses can be completely unaware that their supply chains, partnerships and operations are exposed to such crimes.

Nevertheless, as the UN’s Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights make clear, “the responsibility to respect human rights is a global standard of expected conduct for all business enterprises wherever they operate”. As such, conducting due diligence to mitigate and prevent exposure to trafficking, is a vital part of corporate Environmental, Social and Governance considerations.
