Forced-labour allegations involving Malaysian supplier ATA IMS
Migrant workers employed by ATA IMS, a Malaysian contract manufacturer producing Dyson-related appliances, brought allegations involving forced labour, recruitment-related exploitation, living conditions and workplace abuse. Investigations reported that concerns had been raised before Dyson ended the relationship. Dyson said it conducted audits and terminated the supplier contracts after concluding that improvements were not being made promptly enough.
