Supply Chain Transparency and Accountability Gain Traction in the Fight Against Forced Labor
The drive for supply chain transparency and accountability in combating forced labor has gained momentum, with consumers, governments, and businesses taking action. Initiatives such as SlaveryFootPrint.org have raised awareness among consumers, leading to increased demand for transparent supply chains. Legislation and technological advancements are pushing companies to map their supply chains and address human rights abuses, while government actions, such as the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, are reinforcing the need for responsible sourcing.
Despite challenges, the ongoing effort to fix supply chains is crucial in combating forced labor and creating lasting change.
