Top Glove resolves 11 ILO forced labour indicators

Six of the 11 indicators were resolved in March.

Rubber glove manufacturer Top Glove has announced that it has resolved all 11 indicators of forced labour that were noted by the International Labour Organisation (ILO).

According to the announcement, the resolution of the ILO indicators has been verified by independent international UK consultant Impactt Limited. Top Glove has engaged ethical trade consultancy Impactt since July 2020 to advise on measures to improve its labour policies.

The identified ILO indicators are abuse of vulnerability, retention of identity documents, restriction of movement, excessive overtime, abusive working and living conditions, deception, isolation, debt bondage, withholding of wages, physical and sexual violence, and intimidation.

Six of the 11 indicators were resolved the previous month.

The manufacturer noted that whilst it is pleased to have resolved the ILO indicators of forced labour, it assures stakeholders of its continued efforts to improve the welfare of employees.

“Top Glove remains committed to be the best company that it can become, ensuring high quality welfare, health, safety, working conditions, and living accommodations of its 21,000 strong workforce,” the company said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
