in that chain joke out of all this with anything my finale that is close even a king only propositional hospital but a fuzzy feel goes a yes i feel was a i'm not there yet but ima always the last 7 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 to 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 15 on and steel companies set up the charcoal citizens institute to investigate and monitor industry supply chains but membership of the pact and the institute is voluntary and since 2004 many people and companies have simply ignored both.

muslims 1st for c.h. and for specific. last. years in prison leavers judas of his age mr lot more and also middle. to tell form accused to do tours no go. look i have all just thought i wasn't getting this in lopping what i meant to pick up more than 2 amid a little cheer paudeen e be applauding jim you know you for an. illustration to produce. the results slavery continues to infect charcoal production and the entire supply chain it 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 presidential. yes and that is a lie needs as much americans. produces $330000.00 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 that charcoal comes from 1st. and do you know to work companies or way the charcoal was going out i will call it if one if them my little book. in 2010 calls the products it gives with photographs with this then brazilian

president lula to get the company has a lengthy record of using slaves same to try. in 2004 slave labor was discovered and called the pot of chocolate fall into town and buy a few slaves to including women and children were freed from a tropical farm he's only customer was. the same year cause the pot was fined $1000000.00 brazilian ralph more than half a $1000000.00 for purchasing charcoal from a company holding slaves. in 2009 and in direct supplier of charcoal to cause he was discovered using slave labor. because he was expelled from the charcoal citizens constitute because it had failed to pay the mandate 3 subscriptions to fund the anti slavery. was a but if i was a. boy my eyes 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 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 watched it that much it got full . cause in direct has refused to talk to us then i mean 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 pink on away from bottle up to the cars from that they're loaded on to ships taken to western industrialized countries like europe to find but it's actually 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 420092010 showing that an mc has regularly imported shipments of pig on from calls. steel aluminum metals critic national material trading has been a long time supplier of paid on to major american steel producers they supply some

situation has been taken very seriously by the senior management team of ford since 2006 when it was originally brought to our attention we have asked all our suppliers that might use pickguard 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 0 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 2006 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 pool promised the statements but did not provide one. in washington what was it but it was a bar again it is a ski slope will. it go ok acting my school is soyuz sequel pretty soon was so was going to be but it has a presence a part will need to kill us the money will see its. own colors on those. yet as they shouted to d g. that it was what was so enormous that plucky budget. and said i'm one of the coolest best so. it's going to be ads appear sourced so only bear. who made the phone less than 0 and if you could talk to a family about to buy a car in the united states or 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. in public or planet. 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. drug or supply. while it is not the scruff looked at as you. don't displease biologist started to but as you he has been to walk

corseted skulduggery just say yes use volage for this job or thought i was going to start. you peel we because of that felt a jolt to simply as a conductor suspicious because you. know in school because used not to 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 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 would i 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 40 factors that go into the making of any product based on that we began to grade products and companies and using that material 1st 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 40 factors for 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 high will continue to be enslaved. baltimore md all of. them i think about don't think. more about them. as. to them.
