Canada watchdog to probe complaints against Nike, Dynasty Gold on use of Uyghur forced labour via financialpost
The complaint against Nike alleges the company has not taken concrete steps to ensure its supply chain doesn’t depend upon forced labour. The complaint alleges that Nike has links with Qingdao Taekwang Shoes Co. Ltd., Haoyuanpeng Clothing Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Esquel Textile Co. Ltd., Qingdao Jifa Group, Huafu Fashion Co. Ltd., and Texhong Textile Group.
The company also did not “confirm their intention to participate in mediation” with the CORE, which could have potentially prevented an investigation. Meyerhoffer, however, said at a press conference on July 11 that the “door is never closed” and that Nike or Dynasty can “come back and do a mediation.”
It added that the company “has not provided a satisfactory response or remedy to the allegations in the complaint, nor satisfactorily demonstrated that it conducts human rights due diligence.”The complaint against Dynasty alleges its mining operations in northwest Xinjiang use Uyghur forced labour. In response, the miner said it doesn’t have any operational control of the mine.
