Automakers' Ties to Forced Labor
Multiple major automakers, including BMW, Jaguar Land Rover, and Volkswagen, have been found to have purchased parts linked to forced labor in China. The investigation highlighted the challenges of supply chain monitoring in a globalized economy.
Continued Importing of Flagged Parts
- BMW imported MINI cars containing the flagged parts even after the Chinese manufacturer was added to the forced labor list.
- Jaguar Land Rover also continued importing affected parts, claiming its American subsidiary was unaware of the issue.
The report emphasizes the need for stricter enforcement and auditing to prevent the use of forced labor in the supply chain.
