22 Nov 2024 Sunseeker International LimitedSunseeker: 240,000 GBP fine and confiscation over Myanmar teak without due diligence United KingdomSupply chain 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).

What organisations can take from it

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.

24 Sep 2025 Giant Manufacturing Co. Ltd.CBP detains bicycles from Giant Manufacturing over forced labour USAForced and child labour Order

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a Withhold Release Order: bicycles, bicycle parts and accessories from Giant Manufacturing Co. Ltd. (Taiwan) are being detained at all US ports of entry because there are indications of forced labour (ILO indicators including debt bondage, withholding of wages, excessive overtime and abusive working and living conditions). Detained shipments can be destroyed, re-exported or released upon proof of admissibility.

What organisations can take from it

Recruitment fees for migrant workers are a core risk – suppliers should demonstrably bear them themselves.
