Chanel's section on its policies does not explicitly make mention that forced labour or child labour is prohibited. However, it does say that the company's internal code of conduct mentions compliance with all applicable labour and employment laws, including in relation to child labour or forced labour.

“ Ethics@Chanel, the company’s internal code of conduct, provides the global ethical principles to be followed by all Chanel employees, reflecting the company’s core values and expectations. This includes compliance with all applicable labour and employment-related laws, rules and regulations in every location in which it does business and across its supply chain, notably relating to wages and hours worked, equal employment opportunity, non-discrimination, immigration and work authorisation, privacy, collective bargaining, child labour, or forced labour.
The Group’s Responsible Procurement Policy, in alignment with Ethics@Chanel, sets out the standards the company expects its suppliers to uphold regarding issues related, among others, to human rights, the environment and anti-corruption and general compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.”
