throughout the three hundred fifty years of the transatlantic slave trade more than a third of the twelve million slaves transported from africa was shipped to brazil . one hundred twenty three years ago brazil became the last country in the americas to abolish slavery. fifteen years ago brazil adopted an innovative program to eradicates modern slavery. gets a day in one of the false this rising global economies up to a quarter of a million men and women are enslaved in brazil. it can not put out to them but it's not in that thing but a concept so making. that a wall will mean so long for. a lot of market.

years the mobile inspection teams have freed fourteen thousand men and women from slavery. and when that stuff i. think that the stuff i've since moved to will say this out. there and. they have the exposed tape of a massive iceberg. nearly two thousand kilometers from brazil's capital the state of pa is still plagued by slave. here the fragile ecosystem of the. amazon rainforest is rapidly being destroyed by illegal before state. and behind the deforestation one of the dirtiest and most degrading forms of

a point to even she says it is i but then she can it. said that they're not given the. high end joe's they have reason to be worried. and this is going to push. somebody on spittle. was ink they're saying showing mischief it's. charcoal is big business in brazil's booming economy it's the vital ingredient in an industry which burns two billion dollars a year. every year brazil exports around ten million tonnes of pig on a key ingredient in the worldwide production of steel and charcoal is the first stage in that chain. of oh there's a tiny thing my finale that is close even a king only propositional hospital. fill goes yes i am not there yet but ima always do was sure seven years ago investigators working for local n.g.o.s

uncovered damning evidence of slavery in brazilian charcoal farms which was supplying the pig iron industry in response the government and industry established the national pact to eradicate slave labor and its aim was to encourage companies to monitor their working conditions at all stages of production. similar to a measly fifteen on and steel companies set up the charcoal citizens institute to investigate and monitor the industry supply chains but membership of the pact and the institute is voluntary and since two thousand and four many pre-dawn companies have simply ignored both. muslim first fifteen inches for seats. at the last. few years in prison.

to tell form accused to go. look i have all just thought i wasn't getting this in lopping what i meant to pick up more than two on that a little sheer poor dany be. the result slavery continues to infect charcoal production and the entire supply chain that feeds. this is the industrial zone on the outskirts of modern where most of the pig and factories are located and according to the evidence that we've been given and the testimonies we've heard one of these companies is allegedly still involved in buying illegally produced charcoal made by slave labor. because of. the. element

as a good engine. will do so and. yes and that is a lie the needs as much americans. produces three hundred and thirty thousand tons of pig on every year relying on charcoal to heat its furnace it's. in the slave camps of the amazon it's an open secret where some of the charcoal comes from first. and do you know to work companies or weigh the truck always go out i will quote one if in my little book. in two thousand and ten called the pot executives were photographed with his then brazilian president lula to get the company has a lengthy record of using slaves tainted. in two thousand and four slave labor was discovered and called the pot of chocolate fall in two thousand and five fifty

slaves changed to be women and children with freed from a tropical farm he's only customer was. the same year it was fined one million brazilian ralph more than half a million dollars as opposed to see charcoal from a company holding slaves. in two thousand and nine and in direct supplier of charcoal to cause he was discovered using slave labor. because he was expelled from the truckle citizens constitute because it had failed to pay the monday three subscriptions to fund the anti slavery. was it but if i was a. boy my eyes as he brzezinski don't be alone. when we went to cause it bought his head office in states we were not well.

but. again i think. the momentum of the l.b.o. of it will be that was if i didn't get my room and it was not going to know just where in a public area here i did it and when it's not allowed. then . we're from al jazeera television and we're wondering if there's anyone we could interview about because it was operation was and i wasn't that much i got full. cause in direct has refused to talk to us then i mean i you know i'm the company has subsequently ignored repeated requests to comment on allegations of slavery in its supply chain. so where does cause he bought a slave team to be going go into these trains that take the pentagon away from

bottle up to the coast from that loaded on to ship taken to western industrialized countries like europe defined but effectively the united states. most of course the pot is pagan is sold through just one u.s. broca an illinois based company called national material trading we have obtained u.s. customs documents for two thousand and nine and two thousand and ten showing that empty has regularly imported shipments of pig on from calls. to steal aluminum metals critic national material trading has been a long time supplier of paid on to major american steel producers they in turn supply some of the most famous brands in the world. national material trading refused to respond to questions about its purchase of slave trade to take on from call jihad or to disclose the stupidity middlemen to whom they sell it.

with multiple locations specializing in steel distribution and processing national material is one of the largest steel service center groups in the u.s. but in recent years ford calls general much as i'm well one of the world's biggest manufacturers of washing machines bridges and microwave ovens have a knowledge easy steel hitch was made from an empty space. today for. and general motors say that an empty seat is not one of their direct scale one supplies but that they couldn't comment on in direct or middlemen supply . for told us the pig iron situation has been taken very seriously by the senior management team at ford since two thousand and six when it was originally brought to our attention we have asked all our suppliers that might use pig produced using charcoal from questionable sources to verify their supply chain. validation continues to be challenging given

the number of supply chain activities between ford and the charcoal caps in brazil . and general motors said general motors has a strict zero tolerance policy against the use of child labor abusive treatment of employees or corrupt business practice in the supply of goods and services to general motors the company's contracts require that its supply represents that neither it nor any of its subcontractors will utilize child slave prisoner or any other form of forced or involuntary labor we learned in two thousand and six that a direct supplier of general motors may have been using materials purchased from an empty at that time we investigated immediately and took appropriate steps will cool promised the statements but did not provide one. in washington that was it but it. was a part of it is askew. don't play acting my school just sawyer home

pretty soon so i'm going to put us in prison apart wanted to kill us the money. yes they shouted. it was all the more what was so enormous that. the settlement of that was going to be our disappeared. so only bare bones. made the flow less than one if you could talk to a family about to buy a car in the united states for japan or germany and they didn't realize that it was being produced in a church supply chain that involved slave labor what would you say to a family but the core problem there. so who is really committed to stopping slave tainted charcoal contaminates in the global

marketplace. the brazilian government prides itself on its commitment to enslave labor yes how effective is that commitment. the labor minister. why do you think despite all these efforts that brazil has taken why is it so hard to eradicate this. drug supply. while it is not the scruff looked at as you let me stop but i don't displease biologist dodged a bit as you he has been taking all corseted skulduggery just say yes use volage for this job or. you pill we because of the felt a jolt to simply as a doctor suspicious because you. know it scored you can not

talk to the garage and you flipped out on not to. give up it was part of your government's really have to come up with this resource to end slavery they've promised to do so by passing laws that say we will not have slavery in our countries until. the right mixture of politicians and the public and thought leaders and business leaders and immediately as you name it understand it and get get get the big picture we can raise those resources. ironically the key to building that understanding may lie in one of the most ubiquitous if least noticed by consumers tools of modern business the buck the one thing that i learned as a bit of a shock to me was the link that i personally had to modern slavery every day when i walked into my favorite store when i picked a product off the shelf there was

a story behind the barcode there's a story behind that product the question is how and now david batstone founded the anti-slavery campaigning group not to say a key part of its mission is to empower consumers with information so they can join the fight against slave labor in the global supply chain. so our team came up with forty factors that go into the making of any product based on that we began to grade products and companies and using that material first we took that data and gave a grade a b. c. d. e. f. like you would get when you were in school the result was an application for smartphones that enables consumers to check a product slavery index whenever wherever they go shopping the app is designed so that you can scan a barcode on a store shelf the great comes up then you can say well. i wonder why they got an a or one away got an f. and you can click to see the score card you can see the forty factors full

transparency transparency in supply chains is essential for ensuring that slave labor is not being used to make products that end up in consumers' homes but ultimately it is up to governments to enforce legislation and penalties if they don't then men like joe's a and hide will continue to be enslaved. long legged baltimore md all over their bit of my english to them i think about don't think. mark about them. as i. see them. in the next episode of slavery a twenty first century evil women sold into bridal slavery in india and the difficult investigation to track down make traffickers.
