NEW YORK – Traceability solutions provider Sourcemap has partnered with risk intelligence company Kharon to help companies avoid forced labour risks in their supply chains and stay onside of new legislation.
It means Sourcemap's customers, which include global manufacturers and brands, will be able to automatically verify their end-to-end supply chain maps against Kharon's labour dataset to ensure compliance with existing - and emerging - import regulations.
In the US, the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) - which bans imports from the Xinjiang region of China on the presumption they are made with forced labour unless it can be proved otherwise - came into effect in June.
