Social Auditing in Global Supply Chains: Forced Labor in the Malaysian Rubber Glove Industry
內容大綱
This case is written from the perspective of Ting-ting Loh, CEO of Aguila Safety Group (ASG). A prominent UK-based personal protective equipment (PPE) procurement company, ASG was one of the main suppliers of medical equipment to the UK National Health Service (NHS). During the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of rubber glove factory workers in Malaysia tested positive for the virus. This reignited discussions and investigations of the labor practices in the factories. Numerous companies were accused of using forced labor, including some of ASG's direct suppliers. Ting-ting had to make important decisions about how to address the allegations of forced labor in ASG's supply chain, while continuing to meet demands for medical supplies during the pandemic.
