Forced labor among migrant workers in Thailand spurs the Nordic Initiative: Every year, millions of people cross borders to work. Many work in global supply chains providing foods and goods to Europe. Migrant workers help fill labor shortages and contribute to economic growth. But many risk exploitation and exposure to discrimination and forced labor. To address these issues, The Nordic Initiative was formed in 2017, consisting of Axfood, Axfoundation, Coop Sweden, CPF Denmark, ICA, Martin & Servera, Menigo, Norvida, Unil Norway and Quizrr. Through joint efforts, the initiative aims to raise awareness among farmers and factory workers in Thailand, so that trafficking, discrimination and other ill treatment can be prevented and stopped.
