Supply Chain Ethics
April 2
The report details that JCB bulldozers have been extensively used in illegal demolitions in regions such as Palestine and India. These demolitions have led to massive displacement and targeted actions against minority populations, particularly Muslim communities. This suggests that JCB's supply chain ethics may be compromised, as their equipment is being used in state-led or politically motivated human rights violations. The failure to sufficiently control or monitor the end use of their machinery implicates the company in facilitating actions that align with authoritarian and discriminatory practices.
