Recently, Viet Nam updated its Labour Code to clarify its laws and better comply with #ILS. A big step, but how to let workers know?

This year, we made a practical guidance handbook for the seafood biz in Vietnam and our partners went down to the docks to hand them out.

#MNEDeclaration is a seminal guide for biz on socially sustainable workplaces. All enterprises and their workers can benefit from the principles it describes. In the #Philippines we translated and published it in the Cebuano and Filipino languages.

Very pleased Malaysia has ratified the @ILO Forced Labour Protocol.

The Protocol requires countries to take measures to prevent and eliminate forced labour, and to protect and provide access to justice for victims.

It's time to #EndForcedLabour in all its forms.
