How can companies ensure their supply chains are resilient to labor and human rights risks?

Anticipated Outcomes of Non-Compliance: 1. Understanding local labor laws and their specific jurisdictions is crucial. 2. Detailed awareness of any involvement of child labor within the organization. 3. Ensuring workers are engaged willingly and not under coercion. 4. Vigilance against any form of slavery within the organization. 5. Adequate protection and insurance for the health and well-being of all employees. 6.

Labour is an integral part of supply chain where they are needed from the extraction of raw materials until the final product reaches customer. Company have to be responsible in term of safety and security of working environment along the supply chain. In developed countries, they have strict laws and regulations and companies are willing to do everything to follow the rules. That's not the case in developing countries, where even though they have strict laws and regulations, the implementation and the enforcement of law is poor. In developing countries, most of the time it is up to company whether they want to do the right thing or cut corners.

When we talk about labour and human right risk, we cannot dismiss the importance of referring to international and regional laws and regulations. There are rules and guidelines that company have to adhere to in order to operate in supply chain. It is the full responsibility of the company to make sure that every activities were done in accordance to the rules and guidelines set by the government and other international entity that govern any issue related to labour rights. Trade union also plays an important role by making sure that company is willing to do everything to make sure the safety and security of labour.

Sometimes, this critical part of learning and sharing isn't brought to the fore. What we learnt should be shared across to ensure everyone is on same page and avoid a repeat.

To lead and inspire the whole supply chain will take a tremendous effort. The first step is always challenging. It should always start internally where the leaders in a company inspire their subordinates to implement the best practice. In my opinion, to lead and inspire externally, we may capitalize the use of social media platforms such as LinkedIn, facebook, Youtube, TikTok and others to promote best practice.
