(ILO), in collaboration with its member States, can lead global measures to address decent work challenges in GSCs. The Vision Zero Fund, established by the Group of Seven (G7), presents an example of such action, where the ILO plays a central role in raising occupational safety and health standards in production countries. The ILO, with its tripartite structure and normative approach to development, scheduled GSCs as a discussion topic in the 105th Session (2016) of the International Labour Conference (ILC), helping to promote dialogue among stakeholders and to close governance gaps in GSCs.
