The BRC will work with its members to produce a document later this year highlighting good practice after a request from the minister. The publication will look to help companies address abuses such as forced labour and dangerous working conditions in their suppliers abroad.
They will also include a framework of human rights reporting requirements, information on ethical auditing and the various accreditation schemes available.
