Did you know that 86% of forced labour occurs in the private sector, and migrant workers are over three times more likely to experience it? Businesses hold a critical role in ensuring that human rights and labour standards are upheld throughout their operations and supply chains. To effectively address these issues, it is essential to make the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the UNGC Labour Principles actionable across all operations. In collaboration with Majid Al Futtaim (MAF), we held a productive training session for MAF Holding's suppliers that focused on the UNGC principles, the company's employment condition policies, and supplier expectations, featuring interactive discussions to raise awareness and foster alignment with these standards. Thank you to all participants for engaging in this important conversation. #ungcuae #sustainability #HumanRights #LabourRights #Sustainability #SupplyChain #UnitingBusiness Majid Al Futtaim
