Webinar Series on
Child Labour Due Diligence

The Federal Council promotes responsible business conduct within the frame of the National Action Plan (NAP) for Business and Human Rights and expects from Swiss companiess to respect human rights and to show efforts in ending all forms of child exploitation in supply chains.

The new child labour due diligence regulation needs to be applied for the first time in 2023. It requires Swiss companies to evaluate if their goods and services might be linked to child labour. If a risk is identified, companies need to trace back their supply chain, identify and manage adverse impacts and report annually about the measures taken.

  • Topics will include the ILO/IOE child labour guidance tool for business, together with the corresponding UN Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights.

  • Insightful experts and speakers from the civil society, consultancy, academia and private sector
