AIM-Progress / WBCSD Responsible Recruitment Interactive Mapping Tool
Best Practice Guidance on Ethical Recruitment of Migrant Workers
  • GUIDANCE
Overview

By examining eight companies in high-risk sectors, ICCR provides an analysis of emerging best practices in the development of corporate ethical recruitment policies and identifies gaps where improvement is needed.

Ideally, this analysis will serve both companies and the investment community. Several of the case studies are based on ICCR member engagements under its No Fees Initiative funded by Humanity United. Additional case studies are the result of research furnished by Social Accountability International (SAI).

Activities / Outputs / Results
  • Harness ICCR's collective influence as shareowners in Fortune 500 companies to improve corporate decision-making on environmental and social issues.
  • Dialogues, roundtables, resolutions/shareholder proposals and advocacy.
  • Encourage companies in their respective sectors to take leadership roles that will serve as models for their sector peers fostering a race to the top on questions of corporate responsibility.
  • Guidance and best practices: 8 identified best practices in the areas of policy development, direct recruitment, work with suppliers, auditing tools, compliance with local law, recruitment fees reimbursement, beyond compliance.

Note: Even though the lessons learned from these case studies are industry-specific, they have global implications that are relevant for a variety of stakeholders, particularly for companies in the early stages of developing an ethical recruitment policy.
