Criticism
Facilities linked to Labour Transfers
The Chinese government has facilitated the mass transfer of Uyghur and other ethnic minority citizens from the far west region of Xinjiang to factories across the country. Under conditions that strongly suggest forced labour, Uyghurs are working in factories that are in the supply chains of international brands. In the 2021 'In Broad Daylight' report, the 'GCL Group' subsidiary, GCL-Poly was listed as having polysilicone facilities involved with labour transfers of Uyghurs, and as a direct beneficiary of XPCC (a Chinese State-Owned Enterprise heavily involved in Uyghur detention, forced transfer and forced labour). GCL-poly also supplies other solar companies such as LONGi, Canadian Solar and Astronergy/ Chint Solar
