DUE DILIGENCE CHECK

11 OCTOBER, 2012 14

A proactive CSR-policy helps entrepreneurs prevent abuse.

Advantageous for companies, since it prevents negative effects like damage to a company’s

image, claims, etc.

The Due Diligence Check assists in assessing which risks are most prominent in a company’s international supply chain and its own activities. It also provides

advice on how to mitigate those risks.

PRODUCT/COUNTRY RISK-INFORMATION

Product specific Bangladesh

Thailand

Country

specific

Corruption: costly and unnecessary

licence and permit requirements.

Reports of corruption in the awarding

of public and private tenders are

frequent. [19]

UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site:

mangrove forest Sundarbans [49]

Corruption is reportedly a

significant problem in Thailand,

both within the private and public

sectors, but it is mainly found in

the intersection between business

and government where demands

for facilitation payments are

widespread. [19]

SITC 034

Fish, fresh

(live or

dead),

chilled or

frozen

Drift net fishing causes a

large amount of unintended

by-catch. Nets should not be

longer than 2.5 km. [18]

Slavery in deep-sea fishing. Mainly

occurs for sardines, mackerel,

cuttlefish, squid, anchovies and

“trash fish” (used to make fish

sauce). Not a problem for tuna and

shrimp. [21]

SITC 611

Leather

Health risks (leukaemia, lung

cancer) for labourers

because of the use of

chemicals and glue in the

production process; bad

labour conditions; child

labour. [22]

Pollution of ground water near

tanneries leads to health problems for

humans as well as animals and plants,

and to less fertile agricultural grounds;

chemicals like chromium cause cancer;

low wages. [22]
