Reference cards for selected labour standards, due-diligence frameworks, and public indexes used in comparative policy review.
EU Forced Labour Regulation
Regulation (EU) 2024/3015 establishes a framework for prohibiting products made with forced labour on the Union market. Its credibility depends on transparent investigation, documented evidence, and consistent enforcement.
OECD Due Diligence Guidance
The OECD guidance sets out a risk-based due-diligence process for responsible business conduct. It is relevant to supply-chain governance because it focuses on identifying, preventing, mitigating, and accounting for adverse impacts.
UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
The UN Guiding Principles provide a global reference for the state duty to protect human rights, the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, and access to remedy.
ITUC Global Rights Index
The ITUC Global Rights Index tracks labour-rights conditions across countries and regions. It is useful for comparative review because it highlights that labour-rights challenges are not confined to one jurisdiction or income group.
