Reported risks and mitigations

• Risk: Migrant workers in tuna processing in Mauritius face risks of recruitment fees, debt bondage, and forced labour due to reliance on migrant labour and complex recruitment practices.
• Area: Within your own operations
• Group: Women Migrants
• Location: Mauritius
• Mitigation: We enforce the Employer Pays Principle to prevent worker-paid recruitment fees, partner with IOM to identify ethical recruiters, and are rolling out the Just Good Work app to provide workers with accessible rights information and grievance channels. We also strengthen Sedex audits, training, and supplier engagement to improve recruitment, working conditions, and oversight of migrant labour risks.

• Group: Migrants
• Location: Indonesia
• Mitigation: We mitigate risks by prohibiting high-risk practices such as longlining and at-sea transhipment, and by enhancing due diligence through collaboration with NGOs and industry groups. We are piloting worker voice technology and grievance mechanisms to improve visibility of onboard conditions, alongside ongoing risk assessments and alternative monitoring approaches beyond traditional audits.
• Risk: Seasonal agricultural workers in Italian tomato farming face risks in wages, working hours, recruitment practices, and access to welfare, particularly during harvest periods.

Insights are used to target improvements in training, access to water, and awareness of grievance mechanisms, while ongoing supplier engagement and monitoring drive continuous improvements in labour practices.
