SUMMARY
Broadcom LTD. (Broadcom) discloses relatively limited information on its management approach of forced labor risks in its supply chain, ranking thirteenth on the benchmark overall. The company discloses an awareness of the risks of forced labor and ranks above the benchmark average in the area of commitments and governance, which is due to its disclosure of human trafficking and supply chain policies and standards. However, Broadcom has an opportunity to improve its benchmark performance in the areas of recruitment, worker voice, and remedy, since it ranks below the benchmark average across each of these areas.
