Through this year’s audits of the product and licensee supply chains, we have identified instances at 11 facilities where workers have paid recruitment related fees, specifically for pre-employment health checks. We have worked with the facilities’ management teams to ensure workers were refunded. To prevent future issues, we continue to work with our suppliers to review recruitment journeys and develop fee-free recruitment chains. page 15
Additionally, a group of migrant workers paying fees were identified. Page 15
pg. 12 "In early 2020, in an area of our supply chain where we identified a group of migrant workers paying fees during a complex recruitment journey, we started working with a local NGO, Issara Institute, and two suppliers who operate four facilities to build worker voice and remediate any fees paid by existing workers as well as workers that had since left their employment, With remediation work now completed, in FY 2021/22 we will further focus on developing an ethical recruitment route for migrant workers in the future and implement enhanced guidelines for our partners to better support them to recruit through ethical channels."
