SUMMARY
Shimamura Co. Ltd. (Shimamura), Japan’s second-largest apparel retailer, has taken no steps to address forced labor risks in its supply chains. It discloses significantly less information than the global sector average. Since its inclusion in the 2018 benchmark, it does not seem to have taken any steps to address forced labor risks in its supply chains. Other Japanese apparel retailers such as Fast Retailing or Muji disclose taking stronger steps. Shimamura does not disclose the steps it has taken to address the risks of alleged Uyghur forced labor across its supply chain tiers.

SUBSET OF INDICATORS
The KnowTheChain methodology assesses companies’ efforts to address forced labor risks in their supply chains. It is based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and covers policy commitments, due diligence, and remedy. The methodology uses the ILO core labor standards (which cover the human rights that the ILO has declared to be fundamental rights at work: freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining, and the elimination of forced labor, child labor, and discrimination) as a baseline standard.
