Most major canned tuna brands and supermarkets are failing to address the enslavement and abuse of fishermen within their Pacific supply chains.
This is the main finding of a recent report by the Business and Human Rights Resource Centre after it surveyed dozens of companies representing over 80 of the world's largest canned tuna brands.
I spoke with the centre's senior researcher and report author, Amy Sinclair, about their findings beginning with the prevalence of Modern Slavery in the multi-billion dollar tuna industry.
