It is the key focus of Migros to protect the human rights of workers and mitigate corresponding salient risks in our supply chain. Taiwan is one of the areas with overseas migrant workers in common; we found there is a need to enhance our Taiwan factory's awareness of migrant workers’ rights and corresponding recruitment practices. Thanks to The Centre for Child Rights and Business for organising the project; we did observe the enhancement of factories’ awareness and practices throughout the process.
In 2023, The Centre conducted a thorough harassment awareness and prevention workshop at a supplier factory in China. Their holistic approach included training for workers and practical recommendations aimed at fostering long-term prevention. The factory has since implemented a zero-tolerance policy and added anti-harassment policies to staff handbooks, with biannual training planned to strengthen prevention. We commend The Centre for their professionalism and effectiveness in delivering this workshop.
