Supporting systemic changes to mitigate the risk of child labor in supply chains

14:00 - 14:45

“The effective abolition of child labour” is one of the 10 UN Global Compact principles aiming to promote sustainable businesses practices. However, child labor is endemic in numerous sectors, with ILO estimating that there are currently 152 million victims of child labor worldwide. When operating in countries with known child labor risks, how can businesses prevent it occurring in the first place, rather than addressing it when it enters the supply chain.

We will ask our panelists to discuss:

The underlying social and economic causes of child labor
The incentives to address causes vs. impacts
How can companies engage with communities to reduce the risk of child labor?
