2nd Daikin response re concerns of contract cutting at Malaysian manufacturer where migrants alleged forced labour

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Daikin to respond to concerns from workers relating to the detrimental impacts of buyers' halting sourcing from Kawaguchi and to answer the following questions to understand how this is happening in line with responsible procurement principles.
