In July 2025, an investigation by Labour Behind the Label traced products sold by third party sellers on Amazon marketplace to supplier factories in Pakistan, where workers raised concerns regarding the presence of forced labour within the supply chain. The abuses workers reported included:

• Not receiving minimum wage;
• Facing excessive and unpaid overtime;
• Being denied access to social security;
• Not receiving payslips or contracts;

The report raises concerns about the measures being taken to ensure human rights are respected across the product supply chains linked to Amazon’s third-party seller sales. It calls on Amazon to require public transparency of seller supply chains and to strengthen the remedy mechanism for third party sellers, so that human rights or environmental harm in its supply chains can be addressed and collectively remediated.

In August 2025, Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Amazon to respond. It did not.

In November 2025, it was reported that Labour Behind the Label, in cooperation with Pakistan-based NGOs, Labour Education Foundation (LEF) and Pakistan Institute for Labour Education and Research (PILER), had filed a complaint with the UK National Contact Point (NCP) for the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, over Amazons alleged failure to conduct proper due diligence on third-party marketplace seller supply chains, allowing garment worker rights abuses in factories in Pakistan.
