Rights Group Says Global Brands Are at Risk of Links to Forced Labor in China’s Minerals Industry
- On Wednesday, Global Rights Compliance published a report revealing major global brands are linked to forced labor in Xinjiang's minerals sector.
- This report follows prior investigations exposing Chinese state-run labor transfer programs that coerce Uyghurs into forced factory work across supply chains.
- The report revealed 77 companies involved in sectors related to critical minerals such as titanium, lithium, beryllium, and magnesium that are linked to labor transfer initiatives, along with 68 downstream firms that source materials from these suppliers.
- According to Ms. Asat, if multinational companies cannot ensure their supply chains are free from forced labor, they should consider sourcing from alternative suppliers who meet this standard or cease operations in China altogether.
- The findings suggest that multinational companies risk being linked to human rights violations, highlighting the importance of adhering to regulations that restrict imports from Xinjiang unless companies can demonstrate their products are free from forced labor.
