Correspondence
Email sent to the contact address for Dalian Rich Enterprise Group.
The email said: "I’m contacting you in light of our latest investigation which concerns the use of forced labor in China’s food processing industry.
In 2022, Dalian Rich Enterprise Group 大连瑞驰企业集团 signed a deal granting Xinjiang Tianyun Organic Agriculture Co. Ltd. 新疆天蕴有机农业有限公司 access to Dalian Rich’s distribution network. The United Nations, human rights organizations and academic experts agree that since 2018, the Chinese government has systematically subjected Xinjiang’s predominantly Muslim ethnic minorities to forced labor across the country via state-sanctioned employment schemes which use coercive methods in worker enrollment, and obstruct freedom to leave employment. Dalian Rich’s international customers include companies in the U.S., where the importation of goods produced from state-imposed forced labor is prohibited.
Has Dalian Rich informed its customers that it distributes goods produced by Xinjiang labor? How much of Dalian Rich's exports are sourced from Xinjiang Tianyun?
Please respond to this email by close of business May 25, 2023."
