Case Study: Footwear Industry Client improves ethical recruitment practices with BSI Consulting

Footwear Industry Client cuts hidden recruitment-fee risk with BSI in a 4-month supplier program

A footwear industry client faced a challenge with its tier 2 suppliers who were charging illegal recruitment fees to migrant workers, violating ethical standards. To address this hidden exploitation and strengthen responsible recruitment practices, the client engaged BSI Consulting.

BSI implemented a comprehensive skills development program for the suppliers, which included workshops and post-training support focused on ethical recruitment and the Employer Pays Principle. This solution from BSI resulted in immediate improvements to the client's supplier management system, increased supplier engagement, and the development of long-term plans to reduce recruitment-related risks.
