<p>Reports indicating that forced labour is being used in Xinjiang adds to the growing
body of evidence about the disturbing situation that Uyghurs and other minorities
are facing in the region. We regularly raise concerns about Xinjiang at the UN and
directly with the Chinese Government. We are also aware of the risks to supply chains
in the UK and officials have discussed the issue with businesses and industry standard
setting organisations. As set out in our online Overseas Business Risk guidance, businesses
involved in investing in Xinjiang, with parts of their supply chains in Xinjiang,
or with any other business involvement in the province should consider conducting
appropriate due diligence to satisfy themselves that their activities do not support,
or risk being seen to support, any human rights violations or abuses.</p>
