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 fos this rising global economies up to a quarter of a million men and women are enslaved in brazil. it can not get out together but it's not in that thing but it. will mean so long for. a lot of market.

can it. said that they're not. high in joe's they have reason to be worried. and this is going to push. some don't spittle. was in there same struggle showing masses 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 pick on a key ingredient in the worldwide production of steel and charcoal is the first stage in that chain. of ovation anything my finale done e'squus even a king only propositional hospital it offers a film goes yes i am not there yet but ema baseball was shot 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 and 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 companies have simply ignored both. muslims first for c.h. infamous for seats. at. last. prison. due to lot more and also middle. 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.

and went as a good engine. will do so and. yes and that is a lie 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 them i read a book. in two thousand and ten called the products actives were photographed with his then brazilian president lula to get the company has a lengthy record of using slaves same to trickle. in two thousand and four slave labor was discovered and called the pot of chocolate fall in two thousand and five fifty slaves including women and children with freed from

a tropical farm he's only customer was. the same year called the pot was fined one million brazilian ralph more than half a million dollars as opposed to see charcoal from a come home the slave. 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 tropical systems institute because it had failed to pay the mandate three subscriptions to fund the anti slavery. was a but if i was of a. point. as he brzezinski don't be alone. when we went to cause he 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 it was if i lived in my room and it was not going to know just nowhere in a public area here i did. and when it's not allowed. 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 watched it that much it got full. causing directors refused to talk to us then and me by media and 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 gone go into these trains that take the pentagon away from

bottle up to the coast from that they're loaded on to ships taken to western industrialized country 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. steel aluminum metals critic national materials trading has been a long time supplier of paid on to major american steel producers they 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 he steals which 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 of ford since two thousand and six when it was originally brought to our attention we have asked all our suppliers that might use pig iron produced using charcoal from questionable sources to verify their supply chain. validation continues to be challenging given

the number of supply chain 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 practices in the supply of goods and services to general motors the company's contracts require that a supplier 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 pull promised the statements but did not provide one. in washington what was it but it. was

a part of it is askew. don't play acting my school just sawyer. pretty soon so i'm going to put us in prison apart wanted to kill us all money cause serious. yes they shouted. it was all the more what was so enormous that. was going to be our disappeared. so only bare bones. may go for 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 would you say to a family public or private. so who is really committed to stopping slave tainted charcoal contaminates in the global

marketplace. the brazilian government prides itself on its commitment to end slave 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. drought as a political contest. while it is not the scruff of the but as you let me stop but i don't displease biologist dodged a bit as you he. did walk because it did school doug just say yes you should volage for the job of those bush studs. you peel we because of the fall to the. dark but suspicious but as you.

know scored you can not put our did you flipped up 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 you least noticed by consumers tools of modern business the box. 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 campaign 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 went 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 influence legislation and penalties if they don't then men like joe's a and high will continue to be enslaved. in a quad or. low level of baltimore md over that bit of my vision to them i think about don't think. more from. the top then. i said. to 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 my traffickers.
