About the data

A major cause of forced labour in today’s global supply chains is the charging of recruitment fees to migrant workers. Such payments can create situations of debt bondage and leave low-wage workers vulnerable to human trafficking and further exploitation. When a company discloses information about its approach to recruitment fees being paid by workers in the supply chain it demonstrates that the company is taking steps to address and mitigate the prevalence of modern slavery.
