Top Glove wishes to inform that it has never been involved in human trafficking, as erroneously stated in the report “Authorities should work with civil society to combat human trafficking” [by Lawyers for Liberty].
The company had worked diligently to successfully resolve the 11 International Labour Organization’s forced labour indicators, as verified by independent international UK consultant, Impactt Limited, in their April 2021 report. Details of these efforts and more can be viewed at this link.
Further, the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in acknowledgement of Top Glove having successfully addressed the aforementioned issues, also modified, or lifted, its finding to allow the company to resume exporting gloves manufactured by its Malaysian factories to the US in September 2021. The CBP had issued a media statement on the matter on Sunday, 9 September 2021.
At a roundtable with Malaysian media on Thursday, 10 February, the deputy executive assistant commissioner of the US CBP’s Office of Trade, John P Leonard, applauded Top Glove’s exemplary efforts and “persistent engagement” with the CBP to successfully address all indicators of forced labour identified at its Malaysian facilities.
