3 Aug 2026 Zhengzhou Synear Food Co., Ltd.UFLPA list: frozen food manufacturer Zhengzhou Synear Food added Order
The U.S. Forced Labor Enforcement Task Force (FLETF) added the frozen food manufacturer to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) Entity List because it works with the Xinjiang government to take in Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz or members of other persecuted groups under state labour transfer programmes. The company's goods are therefore presumed to have been produced with forced labour on import into the US unless the importer rebuts this.
Food importers should also check suppliers outside Xinjiang for involvement in state labour transfer programmes.

25 Jun 2026 TotalEnergiesParis Judicial Court: TotalEnergies must include Scope 3 emissions in vigilance plan Order
In an action brought by Notre Affaire à Tous, Sherpa, ZEA, France Nature Environnement and the City of Paris, the Paris Judicial Court (Tribunal judiciaire de Paris, 34th chamber) ruled that climate risks fall under the French duty of vigilance law and that Scope 3 emissions are part of the oil and gas group's activities. The vigilance plan without Scope 3 is incomplete, the court held; TotalEnergies must supplement it within six months, with provisional enforceability, and implementation will be reviewed by the court in January 2027.
Risk analyses under due diligence laws must also cover the climate impact of the products sold (Scope 3).

22 Nov 2024 Sunseeker International LimitedSunseeker: 240,000 GBP fine and confiscation over Myanmar teak without due diligence €368,909
Between April 2021 and July 2022, the yacht builder imported eleven consignments of timber from the EU, including teak from Myanmar, without being able to demonstrate that the risk of illegal logging was negligible; its due diligence system was not maintained and documents were missing. Following a guilty plea, the Bournemouth Crown Court imposed a fine of 240,000 GBP and a confiscation of 66,950.64 GBP (plus costs of 51,619.96 GBP).
For timber from high-risk countries such as Myanmar, the risk can practically never be reduced to a negligible level – purchasing and design should switch to alternatives.
