Decision concerning the possible initiatives that complement the body of international labour standards to ensure decent work in supply chains

Reaffirming the goal of the ILO strategy on decent work in supply chains to position the Organization to play a leading role in promoting decent work in supply chains by providing guidance and support to Member States and tripartite constituents, the Governing Body:

(a) requested the Office to take the non normative options 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 and 11 forward, including through the preparation of relevant proposals based on the guidance that it provided during the discussion;

(b) requested the Director-General to continue to take the ILO strategy on decent work in supply chains (2023-27) and the guidance provided during the Governing Body's discussion into account in the context of the ongoing Office reform, the preparation of future programme and budget proposals, the mobilization of extrabudgetary resources and the development of the future ILO strategy on decent work in supply chains to be submitted in March 2027;

(c) acknowledged that this decision did not preclude consideration of any other options, including normative options, following a mid-term review of the 2028-31 Strategy in March 2030.
