Thailand is taking a major step towards strengthening corporate accountability by drafting a new law that will require businesses to conduct human rights and environmental due diligence in their supply chains. This proposed mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence law (mHREDD) will build on Thailand’s existing commitments and align with international frameworks. The law will apply to businesses operating in Thailand, requiring them to identify, prevent, and address human rights and environmental risks in their operations and supply chains.

Article, Big Brands and the wild west of supply chains

Hundreds of factories surround the border city of Mae Sot in the far west of Thailand. It is so close to Myanmar that at times the bombs of the civil war can be heard from its centre. Almost all the garment factories here rely on the flow of cheap Burmese labour fleeing war and economic hardship. Their hard work, willingness to accept pay well below the Thai minimum wage and a lack of legal rights make them an attractive prospect for factories trying to cut costs. And the sale price of what they produce on these tiny wages attracts big brands.
