What we do
Supporting supply chain plans and initiatives with global and systemic dimensions.
This Action Group has been established as a central hub for governments, businesses, trade unions and others to come together in support of plans and initiatives that have global and systemic dimensions on the area of supply chains.

WORKSHOP SERIES
Workshop Series with Alliance 8.7 Supply Chain Action Group
Achieving progress towards SDG target 8.7 requires collaboration to share knowledge and scale up action across supply chains. The ILO, as the Secretariat of the Supply Chain Action Group, will coordinate a virtual deep dive workshop series to facilitate knowledge sharing among members on the impacts and lessons learned regarding child labour, forced labour, and human trafficking in supply chains. These workshops will provide an opportunity for members to exchange information and experiences in key areas such as research, policy, advocacy, capacity building, and country-level action.
