"• A farm in South Africa was accused of restricting workers’ movement during the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing them to live in unacceptable conditions and threatening to terminate contracts should they seek to exit the site. Following investigation, an action plan was developed to ensure the resolution of issues, however further concerns led us to delist the site."
