“THIRD-PARTY LABOUR AND LOGISTICS SUPPLIERS

In addition, Premier engages third party logistics suppliers in the United Kingdom and Singapore to manage the warehousing and distribution of goods in Europe and Asia. Because there is no direct employment relationship between Premier and workers employed with labour hire companies and third party logistics operators, this creates additional modern slavery risk.”

“POTENTIAL INDUSTRY RISKS:

Governments or private bodies may use coercive or exploitative labour practices whilst often employing vulnerable migrant labour or ethnic minorities.

The transportation and logistics (T&L) industry is not immune to human rights violations as workers may be contracted casually with T&L customers not having full oversight of T&L operations or supply chains.

3rd party labour hire, a casualisation of the workforce and migrant workers who may be more vulnerable can lead to exploitation in warehouses.”
