UK Proposes Mandatory Supply-Chain Checks and Forced-Labour Product Removals
The UK is developing mandatory human-rights due-diligence rules for businesses with global turnover or UK sales above £350 million, with products potentially removed from sale if forced labour is found and required checks were not conducted. Government buyers and contractors should review supplier traceability and compliance readiness, although the implementation timetable and regulator details remain unannounced.
