In addition to looking
at their product supply
chain, companies have
started to recognize
that service-providing
workforces such as
labour recruiters and
moneylenders, can carry
several sustainability
risks for both internal
and international
migrant workers. Human
trafficking and forced
labour are among the
main issues associated
with unethical practices
of recruitment agencies.
Since the initial development
of a supply chain
programme and strategy,
companies should
also take into account
labour supply chains and
address issues arising
from exploitative recruiting
and hiring practices.
