防制強迫勞動及落實公平招募專區-企業防制強迫勞動參考指引
內容:
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the international regulation of human rights in supply chains, with an upgrade in focus from ethical advocacy to legally binding trade restrictions and import control measures. As related domestic and international cases indicate, the existence of forced labor in the operations of enterprises and their supply chains can have adverse consequences, including but not limited to product seizures and import bans, which can have a serious impact on operations and corporate reputation.
In response to the international supply chain's emphasis on preventing forced labor and adhering to fair recruitment principles, the Ministry of Labor (MOL) released “Guidelines for Enterprises on the Prevention of Forced Labor” on February 13, 2026. The guidelines help Taiwanese enterprises in identifying risks and reducing their operational risks.
The core of the guidelines is to guide enterprises, progressing from their own operations to the supply chain, step by step through five major dimensions: "policy commitment," "internal status assessment," "identification of potential risks," "response and improvement measures," and "supply chain management." Furthermore, to make it visible and actionable for enterprises, the guidelines provide four core tools: the ILO 11 Indicators of Forced Labor, the Forced Labor Risk Self-Assessment Form, the Audit Standards and Procedures of Major International Codes of Conduct, and the Q&A Collection. These tools help enterprises implement the guidelines more easily.
