SPECIAL EPISODE: Malaysia's rubber industry takes on forced labour.


Listen Later

During the COVID-19 pandemic, global demand for rubber gloves soared, prompting the Malaysian rubber industry to increase production in the face of labour shortages. Forced labour reports led, among other things, to the United States seizing and holding the goods of seven Malaysian companies. In response, the sector adopted a zero recruitment fee model and reimbursed migrant workers, making significant progress in combating forced labour in just four years.
This podcast episode takes an in-depth look at how Malaysian rubber businesses managed to change things for the better and shares tips, tools, and resources for businesses.
