▪Work is often informal and precarious with a predominance of vulnerable migrant workers

▪Abuse is hidden with complex labour supply chains and unscrupulous employers outsourcing illegality

▪ Massive opportunities for easy profits means corruption and organisedcriminality pervades labour supply

▪Recruitment fee debt bondage holds more people in modern slavery in supply chains than any other

Why needed? Growing awareness that labour provision often presents the greatest worker exploitation risk in supply chains

▪Labour recruitment identified as major human rights risk in supply chains

▪Focus on recruitment practices by many bodies – ILO, IOM, IHRB, CGF, RLI

▪Growing global media awareness and focus

▪Civil law actions

Why needed? Growing focus by global NGOs, industry bodies, media and law firms

▪They are geared to direct employment and fixed sites

▪Do not account for the nature of labour provision:

▪Tripartite relationship

▪Irregular employment

▪Labour sourcing and supply chains

▪Recruitment law

▪Existing recruitment body Codes of Conducts are not underpinned by global standards or a social compliance verification methodology
