You may remember that I wrote an article around 18 months ago on the subject of the importance of ethical audits and what you might expect from one. In it, I made reference to the Equality and Human Rights Commission's (EHRC) report into the meat and poultry industry which revealed questionable recruitment practices and worrying treatment of temporary and agency workers.

A report by the UK’s Equality and Human Rights Commission highlighted questionable recruitment practices and worrying treatment of temporary and agency workers in the country’s meat and poultry processing sector. As a response, many supermarkets are now insisting that their suppliers conduct ethical audits to ensure that workers are being treated fairly throughout the supply chain.
