Gloves off: Ansell under fire over ‘modern slavery’ at Malaysian supplier | ChrisBarrett_
Personal protective equipment giant Ansell is being taken to task over its ties to a Malaysian glove maker alleged to have subjected workers to forced labour and squalid living conditions inside shipping containers.
The Malaysian Labour Department later said 781 employees had been living inside three shipping containers. “According to recent US customs records, Brightway Group is a significant supplier of gloves to both Ansell and Kimberly Clarke Corporation , two of the world’s largest gloves and personal care companies to whom I have also complained about appalling conditions at Brightway Group since early 2020,” migrant worker activist Andy Hall said on Tuesday.
