"There are high numbers of lower-skilled workers in the agriculture sector, and informal work arrangements often exist. Depending on regional infrastructure and other factors, the potential for limited oversight and protection can lead to an increased risk of forced labour. We have identified the potential risk of forced in the production of agriculture-based raw materials, such as cotton and rubber. Our policy is to source agricultural commodities from regions where there is a lower risk of forced labour, as determined through our risk assessments, and to certify commodities through the adoption of appropriate industry traceability standards."
"We have identified foreign migrant workers as an at-risk group in specific sourcing locations, including Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand. In these locations, we are working with suppliers and their subcontractors to align with our Foreign Migrant Worker Standard. We are also providing guidance in ethical recruitment and ongoing employment of foreign migrant workers, including the eradication of recruitment fees."
