Episode 9: Training podcast for SMEs – Fighting forced labour: Advice from SMEs for SMEs

In March this year 300 people joined us to hear from three inspiring SMEs (small- and medium-sized enterprises) who had entered our Global Award for SME Action on Forced Labour. Mariska van der Linden, ILO GBNFL consultant, has taken the highlights from this event and turned them into a podcast. Listen to the podcast to hear from: - The ARTE Group, a company making kitchen worktops which successfully set up a Child Labour Free Zone in India - Wimrob Bees Ltd., which has set up a network of beekeepers and provides opportunities for decent work and income in rural Uganda - FSI Worldwide, a recruitment agency that has set up permanent village-level fair recruitment systems in Nepal, India, and Kenya. For more information on these inspiring SMEs, including fact files, case studies and top tips, please visit our website flbusiness.network
