With the global refugee crisis showing no signs of abating, multinational companies need to consider how their supply chain interacts with refugees, who are often more vulnerable to forced labor when they seek out work in a new country. Combating Forced Labor and Child Labor of Refugees in Global Supply Chains: The Role of Responsible Sourcing unpacks why and how companies can and should tackle the issue of forced labor by rethinking how refugees can be safely integrated into their supply chains and, in doing so, help refugees gain access to fair, decent work.
