It is more important than ever for UK businesses to take responsibility for conditions in their supply chains and honour their obligations. We are working across government, including with the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, the Home Office and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to encourage retail businesses to uphold commercial commitments with international suppliers and support workers.
