New law holds clients responsible for abuses committed by subcontractors
What measures do clients of transportation companies take to prevent and mitigate social abuse committed by their transportation companies? What are their selection criteria for transportation companies? Do they exclusively select transportation companies that can offer the best price? Or do they opt for a more expensive carrier that invests in its drivers?
SOMO’s latest report discusses how companies like Shell, AkzoNobel, DSM, Bol.com, Zalando and Coolblue tender their transport services, select carriers, and address social issues. The research focuses on chemical transports and parcel delivery for online retailers in the Netherlands.
This report is only available in Dutch.
