The business environment is changing. International business activities are evaluated in light of international standards, in addition to compliance with the laws and regulations of the countries where they operate. Consequently, business enterprises themselves are faced with a need to identify and address human rights-related risks in their operations, including in relation to migrant workers employed in their supply chains. What are some of the most common human rights related risks migrant workers are facing in Thailand? What do these risks mean for business? How can you as a project manager support your company in keeping up with the relevant international requirements?
Aleksandra Lasota is the Migration, Business and Human Rights Lead at the International Organization for Migration
(IOM), the UN Migration Agency. Her expertise lies in working with businesses to support them in upholding the rights of migrant workers in international supply chains. She comes with nearly a decade of professional experience in broader migration and displacement issues in locations ranging across the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific.
