The British report documents how automakers may be complicit via their long supply chains.
In response to the Sheffield Hallam report, automakers have been quick to brandish their codes of conduct for suppliers—which not surprisingly ban the use of coerced labor. The question remains, however, do automakers follow through with actual on-the-ground factory floor inspections that ensure the codes are being followed? Some say they do. With others, it’s not clear.
The British report says the US received a quarter of the $45 billion in Chinese auto parts production in 2021. It also said research had identified “more than 50 international automotive parts or car manufacturers that are sourcing directly from companies’ operating in the Uyghur Region or from companies that have accepted Uyghur labor transfers across China.”
Ford’s Anderson Chan provided guidelines that require suppliers to “confirm that work is conducted on a voluntary basis.” The use of “bonded, indentured, or exploitive prison labor” is prohibited.
