GLOBAL - Major brands and retailers are failing to honour promises to protect the rights of migrant workers in global supply chains, according to the KnowTheChain initiative.
KnowTheChain is a partnership between Humanity United, the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre, Sustainalytics and Verité which aims to address forced labour risks within global supply chains.
It traced promises made by large brands to protect the rights of migrant workers and says that few had integrated these commitments into their supply chain practices.
