End child labour in supply chains - It's everyone's business!
World Day Against Child Labour - 12 June 2016
Child labour has no place in well-functioning and well regulated markets, or in any supply chain. The message that we must act now to stop child labour once and for all has been affirmed by the Sustainable Development Goals. Acting together, it is within our means to make the future of work a future without child labour."
Guy Ryder, ILO Director-General
