Canada launches probe into Nike over allegations of benefiting from forced Uyghur labor in China supply chains
Canada has launched probe into Nike Canada and Dynasty Gold over allegations that they used forced Uyghur labour in their supply chains and operations in China.
The investigations were launched after an initial assessment of complaints about the overseas operations of 13 Canadian companies filed by a coalition of 28 civil society organizations in June 2022, a Reuters report said.
American multinational Nike has operations across the world while Dynasty World is headquartered in Canadian city of Vancouver.
This is the first such probe launched by the Canadian agency since it started its complaint mechanism in 2021, the report added.
In a statement to Reuters, Dynasty Gold called the allegations “unfounded.”
