Consumer Goods Industry Sets Bar in Fight Against Forced Labour, 6 December 2016

Global CEOs on the Board of The Consumer Goods Forum continue their efforts in tackling forced labour by adopting and calling for action on three “Priority Industry Principles”:

• Every worker should have freedom of movement
• No worker should pay for a job
• No worker should be indebted or coerced to work

The development of the Priority Industry Principles was led by the CGF Priority Industry Principles Working Group, co-chaired by Mars Incorporated, Tesco, The Coca-Cola Company and Walmart. The working group first researched a variety of globally recognised resources including the International Labour Organization Indicators of Forced Labour.
