Join FTA’s New Thought Leadership Webinar on Migrant Workers in Turkey

FTA is pleased to invite you to join our second Thought Leadership Webinar on current and emerging social and environmental risks in supply chains on 22 June at 15:00 CEST. Under the title Migrant Workers in Turkey - Top 3 Issues Identified in the Supply Chain, this second session will provide specific insights on the current and emerging risks for this population, with a focus on how to deal with informal workers.

Thought leaders in the field will share the top three issues identified in supply chains’ sourcing activities and provide insightful knowledge into on-the-ground best practices and industry-experts’ expectations. The discussion will address challenges such as work permits and registration, logistics once employed and labour conditions, and will also analyse growing trends of migration and its global implications.
