But she said it’s unclear from those documents how thorough the company’s efforts are in using fibre-origin tracing technology to ensure it is not using products of slave labour.Article content If the company had played ball with her investigation early in the process, the complainants would have been OK with pursuing confidential mediation in the first place and not naming Ralph Lauren publicly, Meyerhoffer noted.Article content
She noted that the sale of the Sawayaerdun mine limits her ability to launch an investigation, but maintained that the company could better explain its assertion that it has no Uyghur workers, and detail how it prevents forced labour. All four reports relate to China’s Xinjiang region, where most of the country’s Uyghur population lives.“The allegation of ‘forced labour’ in Xinjiang is a huge lie made up by anti-China forces to denigrate China for the sheer purpose of destabilizing Xinjiang and containing China’s development, under the pretext of the so-called ‘human right issues,”‘ a spokesman wrote in response to earlier reports from Meyerhoffer last month.
