摘要
This case study examines how forced labour risks can persist even in contexts with strong legal protections. Drawing on publicly available evidence, including the 2025 Withhold Release Order against Giant Manufacturing, it highlights how structural vulnerabilities and business practices interact to create conditions for exploitation.
Part of the Forced Labour Series: Are We Fighting Forced Labour or Just Managing It?, the study explores what current approaches miss, and why risks often remain undetected until they escalate into regulatory action. It offers insight into how companies can strengthen due diligence by identifying risks earlier and focusing on prevention in practice.
