on page 4, the first paragraph is most important

"Within our sector, we see these groups as including contract workers and migrant laborers, particularly in agriculture. "

Geographics - page 4 "we aim to address forced labour and human trafficking in high-risk commodities and geographies" and then they talk about priority areas in their tea supply in Assam and Kenya; they also mention on page 32 of their Human Rights Progress Report that they "focused on key geographies"

 

Industry - the statement mentions the tea supply, palm oil and agriculture industry at large

 

Resource - page 5 "forced labour is one of the issues prevalent in palm oil production"

 

Workforce - additionally, Global VP Marcela Manubens is quoted on page 4 stating "the abusive use of migrant labour is prominent in many sectors"
