This 2013 report by the Environmental Justice Foundation, 'Sold to the Sea: Human Trafficking in Thailand's Fishing Industry' exposes severe human rights abuses associated with human trafficking in Thailand's fishing industry and documents the testimonies of Burmese workers, as young as 16, who were forced onto fishing vessels for many months and subjected to arduous, often violent, working conditions without pay. While the report doesn't mention this company, is seems likely human rights abuses are occurring in their supply chain.
