FreightEthics — UFLPA + Modern Slavery Supply-Chain Register
22 supplier sites mapped across 4 tiers (finished good → component → sub-assembly → raw material). UFLPA Xinjiang-traceability, Modern Slavery Act 2015 §54 coverage, EU CSDDD 2024/1760 due-diligence, ILO 8 core-conventions risk. Surfaces 2 XUAR-located polysilicon + transformer suppliers (UFLPA rebuttable presumption applies), 1 DRC cobalt site without OECD Annex II audit.
What it is
The shape behind every modern supply-chain ethics program — Sphera, EcoVadis, Sayari Graph, Achilles. Tier-1 through tier-4 visibility, regional risk flagging, regulatory mapping per row.
What’s in it
- 22 supplier sites across the realistic electronics + solar + battery supply chain:
- Tier-1 OEMs — Lenovo (HK), Foxconn (Zhengzhou), Compal (TW), Solar Module Co (VN), PowerGrid (IN), Mexico packaging
- Tier-2 components — Daqo (Shihezi — XUAR), TBEA (Hami — XUAR), GCL Solar (Suzhou), Wuxi battery, AAA Component (Dongguan), TSMC (Hsinchu)
- Tier-3 sub-assemblies — silver smelter (KR), copper smelter (CL), aluminum (AE), lithium refiner (Yichun), rare-earth (Ganzhou), tin (ID)
- Tier-4 raw materials — cobalt refiner (DRC via HK)
- 4 frameworks scored per site:
- UFLPA (PL 117-78) — verified / partial / flagged / red (XUAR proximity or rebuttable presumption)
- UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 §54 — covered / partial / gap
- EU CSDDD 2024/1760 — compliant / in-review / gap
- ILO 8 core conventions — 1-5 risk score (forced labor, child labor, freedom of association, non-discrimination)
- Worst-offender findings:
- SC05 Daqo (Shihezi, XUAR) — UFLPA red, rebuttable presumption, phase-out scheduled
- SC06 TBEA (Hami, XUAR) — UFLPA red, CBP detention history
- SC04 GCL Solar (Suzhou) — UFLPA partial, polysilicon historically traced to Xinjiang
- SC16 cobalt refiner (DRC via HK) — OECD Annex II concern, no Cobalt for Development audit
- SC15 Lithium refiner (Yichun) — Jiangxi province, upstream visibility weak
- Per-site chain visualization — tree view showing the path up to the finished good.
Why this shape
UFLPA (Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act PL 117-78) shifted CBP enforcement to a rebuttable presumption — any product with Xinjiang-region origin is presumed forced-labor unless clear-and-convincing evidence otherwise. UK MSA 2015 §54 mandates annual transparency statements. EU CSDDD 2024/1760 (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive) extends to tier-3 sub-suppliers. Together they demand the artifact FreightEthics prototypes — a per-site, per-tier, per-regulation map.
