Eradicating contemporary forms of slavery from supply chains 2015, para. 34
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- The Brazilian Ministry of Labour maintains a record of people and corporations found to be using slave labour, which has been termed the "dirty list", established by ministerial decree of 2003. The database was used by public and private companies that applied commercial and financial sanctions. The list grew to include 52 employers of slave labourers in 2003 to 609 as of July 2014. However, in December 2014, the Supreme Court granted an injunction to an association of construction companies, suspending the "dirty list". To date, attorneys from the Federal Government have not been able to re-establish the database. Another challenge to the list was launched following the Labour Prosecutor's Office finding that Zara Brazil (part of global brand Inditex) had directive power over the supply chain and litigation has ensued which includes a challenge to the constitutionality of the "dirty list". Also in Brazil, the Sao Paulo State Law to Combat Slave Labour, also known as the Bezerra Law, seeks to regulate the disclosure of slave labour.
