Enhancing Business Capacity to Address Forced Labour and Human Trafficking Risks in International Supply Chains Vietnamese economy is one of the fastest growing economies in the region. At the same time, the expansion of transnational production networks of multinational companies, new regulatory frameworks on conducting business ethically, as well as procurement and contracting requirements of trade and investment agreements have all strengthened compliance requirements for Vietnamese companies looking to enter global supply chains. On the other side, as international and internal labour mobility continues to rise, migrant workers make up increasing parts of the workforce in global supply chains, with many migrant workers are remaining exposed to abuse and exploitation. In this context, it is crucial that businesses understand international standards on business and human rights, the vulnerabilities of different groups of workers, and means to improve own policies, procedures and practices to be compliant with requirements of international buyers. IOM’s work aims to support Vietnamese companies, particularly those engaged or looking to engage in international supply chains, to enhance capacities through improved understanding of risks of forced labour and human trafficking, and vulnerabilities of specific worker groups in particular migrant workers. Through this approach, companies will be able to develop policies and improve management systems to better uphold the rights of all workers.
