The most proactive companies are investigating how to extend the commitment against forced labor at deeper levels of the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Learn best practices for identifying and eradicating forced labor at the supplier level in the documents below. The materials explain the indicators of forced labor as incorporated into the FLA code, provide examples of risks and violations reported by the FLA\u2019s on-the-ground assessors, and offer recommendations for proactive and cooperative steps that companies can take to ensure suppliers do not engage in or tolerate trafficking and forced labor.<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section documents\" data-dc-animate>\n            <ul class=\"documents__list  fade-animate     documents__list--2 \"\n    data-dc-animate-ref=\"fadeBlocks[]\"\n     style=\"z-index: 39\" >\n            <li class=\"documents__item\" >\n                            <a download href=\"https:\/\/www.fairlabor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/addressing_forced_labor_in_supply_chains_august_2017.pdf\" download class=\"documents__link\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon documents__icon1\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" focusable=\"false\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"#icon-page\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                    <span class=\"documents__name\">Addressing forced labor in supply chains: protecting workers from unfair restrictions on their freedoms at work<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"documents__type\">PDF | 2 MB<\/span>\n                                        <span class=\"documents__icon2\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\"  focusable=\"false\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"#icon-download\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n            <li class=\"documents__item\" >\n                            <a download href=\"https:\/\/www.fairlabor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/forced_labor_guidance_update_july-2019.pdf\" download class=\"documents__link\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon documents__icon1\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" focusable=\"false\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"#icon-page\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                    <span class=\"documents__name\">Forced labor in supply chains: addressing risks and safeguarding workers&#039; freedoms<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"documents__type\">PDF | 3 MB<\/span>\n                                        <span class=\"documents__icon2\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\"  focusable=\"false\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"#icon-download\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"rich-text section\" data-dc-animate>\n    <div class=\" fade-animate \"  data-dc-animate-ref=\"fadeBlocks[]\">\n        \n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Beyond a basic requirement that \u201cworkers shall have the right to enter into and to terminate their employment freely,\u201d and clear prohibitions on \u201cprison labor [and] bonded labor,\u201d FLA standards require that workers have reasonable freedom of movement at work, must not be bound to their jobs by debt, and may not be forced to work overtime involuntarily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">Companies assessing entire supply chains against these standards \u2014 and working to remediate the violations they find \u2014 are well adapted to an evolving global environment in which governments, consumers, and civil society, are raising increasing concerns about companies\u2019 connections to human trafficking and modern slavery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\">FLA and its members believe no worker should be unable to leave a job at will because of the burden of a heavy recruitment debt to an employer. No migrant worker should have to worry about being able to return home freely because an employer is withholding a passport, other important legal documents, or workers\u2019 wages. And no worker should have to risk termination because they are unable to work involuntary overtime or choose not to.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section txt-img-block
