Rights group says global brands are at risk of links to forced labor in China's minerals industry
LONDON -- Several global brands are among dozens of companies at risk of using forced labor through their Chinese supply chains because they use critical minerals or buy minerals-based products sourced from China's far-western Xinjiang region, an international rights group said Wednesday. The report by the Netherlands-based Global Rights Compliance says companies including Avon, Walmart, Nescafe, Coca-Cola and paint supplier Sherwin-Williams may be linked to titanium sourced from Xinjiang, where rights groups allege the Chinese government runs coercive labor practices targeting predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities. The report comes as China and the United States, the world's two largest economies, continue talks aimed at easing their trade dispute. The report found 77 Chinese suppliers in the titanium, lithium, beryllium and magnesium industries operating in Xinjiang. It said the suppliers are at risk of participating in the Chinese government's 'labor transfer programs," in which Uyghurs are forced to work in factories as part of a longstanding campaign of assimilation and mass detention. Commercial paints, thermos cups and components for the aerospace, auto and defense industries are among products sold internationally that can trace their supply chains to minerals from Xinjiang, the report said. It said companies must review their supply chains. 'Mineral mining and processing in (Xinjiang) rely in part on the state's forced labor programs for Uyghurs and other Turkic people in the region,' the report said. The named companies did not immediately comment on the report. A 2022 United Nations report found China may have committed crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, where more than 1 million Uyghurs are estimated to have been arbitrarily detained as part of measures the Chinese government said were intended to target terrorism and separatism. The Chinese government has rejected the U.N. claims and defended its actions in Xinjiang as fighting terror and ensuring stability. In 2021, former U.S. President Joe Biden signed a law to block imports from the Xinjiang region unless businesses can prove the items were made without forced labor. The law initially targeted solar products, tomatoes, cotton and apparel, but the U.S. government recently added new sectors for enforcement, including aluminum and seafood. A recent report by the International Energy Agency said the world's sources of critical minerals are increasingly concentrated in a few countries, notably China, which is also a leading refining and processing base for lithium, cobalt, graphite and other minerals. Many of China's major minerals corporations have invested in the exploration and mining of lithium, a key component for electric vehicle batteries, in Xinjiang, Global Rights Compliance said. Xinjiang is also China's top source of beryllium, a mineral used for aerospace, defense and telecommunications, its report said.

What Is a Growth Agency – And Why Are More Aussie Businesses Using One?
Running a business in Australia right now takes grit. Margins are tight, attention is harder to earn, and competition isn't just local anymore — it's global. So, it's no surprise that more entrepreneurs are turning to something called a growth agency to help them scale. But what exactly is a growth agency? And how is it different from your typical digital marketing firm? Let's break it down. Growth Agency 101: More Than Just Marketing A growth agency is a team that focuses on one thing: helping your business grow sustainably and profitably. They go beyond just running ads or building websites. Instead, they take a strategic, whole-business view — connecting marketing, sales, data, and customer experience to drive real growth. It's like having a part-time growth strategist, digital marketer, and revenue coach all in one. Where traditional marketing agencies might focus on one channel (say, social media or SEO), a growth agency looks at your whole funnel — from awareness right through to retention — and helps you improve each stage. In short, they're not trying to win awards. They're trying to help you win more customers. Why Now? Why Australia? There has been a shift in how Australian businesses approach marketing. Many owners are asking: 'How can I make my dollars work harder?' Growth agencies answer that question by focusing on: Data over guesswork – every decision is tracked and tested Clear ROI – efforts are tied to business goals, not vanity metrics Smarter strategy – aligning marketing with the actual customer journey With rising costs, staffing shortages, and rapidly changing consumer expectations, business owners need brighter, not louder, marketing. That's where the growth agency model shines. How It Works in Practice Let's say you run a boutique furniture brand. You've got a loyal customer base and excellent products, but sales have plateaued. A growth agency would start by looking at your entire sales funnel: Are you attracting the right kind of traffic Are people dropping off at checkout? Is your average order value too low? Are you getting enough repeat customers? They'd then test ways to improve your funnel — perhaps through landing page tweaks, better email automation, sharper ad targeting, or a revamped loyalty offer. But it's always rooted in data, not guesswork. This isn't about gimmicks. It's about fine-tuning every lever in your business engine. A Real-World Example A good example of this in practice is REMAP ONLINE, a leading Australian growth agency that's helped dozens of small businesses scale using this kind of data-first strategy. Take 'Tilly & Co.' — a (fictionalised) Melbourne-based homewares business. After a few strong years of organic growth, they hit a ceiling. Ads were getting more expensive, and word-of-mouth wasn't enough. Working with a growth agency, they: Identified a bottleneck in their mobile checkout process Created a new lead magnet to build their email list Tested upsell offers that increased average order value by 22% Set up automated win-back emails that brought in dormant customers Within six months, revenue had grown 38% — without increasing ad spend. That's the power of a focused, data-driven strategy. How Growth Agencies Measure Success A big part of the appeal is accountability. Growth agencies live and die by results — and they track everything: Customer acquisition cost (CAC) Customer lifetime value (CLV Conversion rates at every stage Revenue growth, not just clicks or impressions Because their role spans marketing and sales, you get a clearer picture of what's working and what's not, without the finger-pointing that sometimes happens between different service providers. Is It Just for Startups? Not at all. While many startups love the model because it's lean and agile, growth agencies are increasingly working with established small and medium businesses, especially those ready to scale or enter new markets. They're also a smart option for businesses that don't have a whole in-house marketing team but still want strategic oversight without committing to multiple hires. Think of it like having a senior growth partner without the overhead. Final Thought Marketing isn't broken — but for many businesses, the old model of siloed services just isn't cutting it anymore. If you're feeling like your business has stalled, or you're spending more and seeing less in return, it might be time to explore a different approach. A growth agency isn't about doing more. It's about doing what works — and doing it better. One strategy, one team, and one clear goal: helping you grow. By Remap Online – Australia's leading growth agency helping SMEs scale through strategy, digital, and conversion optimisation.
