Child Labor evaluates how a company prevents, detects and remediates the employment of workers below the minimum legal age or engaged in hazardous activities that jeopardize their health, safety or schooling anywhere in its operations and supply chain. It covers:

• adoption of a zero-tolerance policy aligned with ILO Conventions 138 & 182, national laws and UN Guiding Principles;
• age-verification and recruitment controls for direct hires, contractors, homeworkers and family farms;
• robust risk assessments, supplier audits and worker-interview protocols targeting high-risk geographies, commodities and informal tiers;
• clear remediation pathways - withdrawal from hazardous tasks, access to education, income replacement for families - and collaboration with NGOs or government agencies;
• training, grievance mechanisms, KPIs and public disclosure that demonstrate continuous monitoring and progress toward eliminating child labor, consistent with frameworks such as SA8000, GRI 408, OECD Due-Diligence Guidance and EU CSDDD requirements.
