The issue of human trafficking in supply chains 2012, para. 39
Paragraph
Paragraph text
As the bottom line is the primary interest of businesses, other stakeholders, most notably consumers, can exert significant influence over corporate conduct. There is no doubt that consumers are increasingly conscious of how their everyday products are produced and take into consideration a company's commitment to social issues in deciding where to shop. Through ethical consumerism, consumers could play an instrumental role in encouraging companies to take part in efforts to combat trafficking.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially in women and children
