This initiative helps protect the rights of migrant workers who are moving between developing countries by connecting multinational companies and suppliers with civil society, international organizations, labor unions, and governments to build transparency around the global migration system and advance responsible business practices.
In a world where capital, technology, and now labor is increasingly mobile, migrant workers are a vital to the global workforce. However, persistent challenges related to their rights and protection have not received proper attention from business.
In order to protect these rights and to mitigate operational, reputational, and legal risks, business must collaborate with other stakeholders to develop better management approaches for migrant workers.
