Child Labour Index
Protect your brand from association with child labour
Knowingly or unknowingly using child labour in your supply chains is one of the most reputationally damaging labour rights issues. Ensuring you have a robust process in place to identify risky suppliers and prevent association with child labour is a critical first step in protecting the reputation of your brand.
The Child Labour Index is constructed with reference to the UN’s “Protect, Respect and Remedy “ framework and includes a comprehensive assessment of a country’s commitment to combatting child labour, the quality of its domestic legal framework, its enforcement capabilities and the extent of reported violations.
