The issue of human trafficking in supply chains 2012, para. 38
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- For a voluntary code of conduct or initiative to be effective in preventing human trafficking in supply chains, it is not sufficient for it to simply state a commitment to combating human trafficking. It should, at a minimum, provide for the undertaking of a risk assessment to map out all actors involved in the supply chain and identify where the risks of human trafficking may be present. This should be followed by the development and implementation of a high-level, company-wide policy prohibiting trafficking and trafficking-related acts at all levels of the supply chain. The implementation of the policy by all suppliers should be monitored and assessed by social auditors who are properly trained in the issue of human trafficking. The policy should also contain a set of remedial measures that a company should take if trafficking cases are found in supply chains, such as referral to victim support agencies and ensuring victims' access to grievance mechanisms. In developing corporate strategies to prevent and combat trafficking in supply chains, businesses should also consult and cooperate with civil society organizations with expertise in trafficking issues.
