LONDON - Forced labour allegations have been identified in the supply chains of nearly half of the major fashion brands and retailers scrutinised in a new report from the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre (BHRRC).
A total of 65 of the world’s largest apparel and footwear companies were examined on their efforts to protect workers in their supply chains from forced labour risks, with more than a fifth scoring less than 5% on the BHRRC's scorecard.
