Investors, analysts, and companies today face growing costs and challenges when addressing child labour in supply chains, with current human rights due diligence strategies often failing to mitigate the associated material risks.

This paper was developed by Global Child Forum, the Church Investors Group, and FiftyEight.

It summarises learning from an investor and company roundtable series exploring how due diligence, ESG data and analyst requirements can be re-framed in ways which will lead to faster and more sustainable actions for the elimination of the worst forms of child labour in supply chains.

By engaging in the approaches outlined, investors and companies can better mitigate risk and avoid unintended consequences.
