Framework Agreement for Investigations on Working Conditions for Migrant Workers

The Global Government Pension Fund of Norway's Council on Ethics shall enter into a framework agreement with one provider who shall conduct investigations into companies in the Fund's portfolio that are involved in practices that may constitute forced labour or other forms of exploitation in working life. The investigations should have a special focus on the working situations for migrant workers. The investigations shall form a basis for decisions on whether the companies' conduct can lead to examination or exclusion in accordance with the human rights criterion in the ethical guidelines of the Global Government Pension Fund.

The investigations can be conducted in various countries, including but not limited to countries that import a large proportion of migrant workers, such as the Gulf states (including Saudi Arabia) and Malaysia, together with countries that export a large proportion of migrant workers, such as Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan. The companies subject to investigations can operate in any sector, but there will be a primary focus on labour-intensive sectors such as service, production, and raw materials.
