[T]he BBC reported the findings of a recent investigation into workers trafficked from Myanmar to Thailand to work in the fishing industry…Maplecroft research indicates that unethical recruiters often ply individuals with drinks and drugs before kidnapping them to work onboard fishing vessels...According to the BBC investigation, the trafficked fishermen allegedly suffered from rape, violence and beatings, excessively long hours of work for no remuneration...and were also drugged with amphetamines to ‘improve' productivity. Those that attempted to escape were tortured or killed. This presents a…significant risk to businesses operating or with supply chains in Thailand. Businesses may be considered to be complicit in unethical practices even when they have not carried out the violations themselves…Businesses can mitigate the risk by independently auditing supply chains to ensure they comply with international standards.
