 The ILO's Special Action Programme to Combat Forced Labour, in close collaboration with ACT-EMP and IOE, has published a new handbook for employers
and business on combating forced labour.
The handbook seeks to meet the needs of employers' organisations and individual
companies worldwide for guidance on addressing these issues and provides
practical tools and material for business actors of all kinds, including senior
managers, human resource personnel, and social compliance and procurement staff.
In a series of seven booklets, the handbook addresses preventive and remedial
action, reviews good practices by companies and across industries, and includes
guiding principles, tips for taking action and guidance on assessing compliance.
Employers' organisations and business have a central role to play in addressing
all forms of forced and compulsory labour. Employers' organisations, in
particular, are strategically well-placed to provide institutional engagement
and sustainability for programmes that address this abuse.
If you have any questions or need further clarification on the contents of the
handbook, please contact ACT/EMP or the
IOE.
