Page 3 "Through research, on-site due diligence, and engagement with supplier facilities and industry groups, HPE has identified the following salient risks in its supply chain: the risk of forced labor with students and dispat, we review supplier practices for managing agents and contractors, and require suppliers to limit dependence on them. We noted that these risks are not associated with types of products, but are often associated with local country practices and laws on foreign migrant workers and sub-tier operations – e.g., higher risk further down our supply chain.ch labor in China, foreign students in Japan, and migrant workers in certain high-risk countries in Asia."
Page 15 "This has included updating our supply chain standards, developing more specialized tools for monitoring supplier performance (including with respect to supplier conformance with the HPE Migrant Worker Standard), developing supplier guidance materials, conducting specific supplier trainings (as well as the promotion of non-HPE trainings and guidance materials), building awareness within HPE and having a more active voice in public fora."
