Statement on proposed legislation banning goods manufactured via forced labor practices
In a significant move towards ethical supply chain practices, eight organizations, including our website, have joined forces to condemn the use of forced labour in the European Single Market. The joint statement, which emphasizes maintaining the current burden of proof, also advocates for a more workable and effective legislative approach.
The organizations, which refer to international frameworks such as the International Labour Organization Tripartite Declaration and Standards, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the European Union's objectives to prohibit products made with forced labour in the Single Market, aim to ensure that their members adhere to these ethical standards.
The statement suggests an increased role for the European Commission in Union governance, and it advocates for a mechanism that prioritizes workability and effectiveness over a litigation-oriented framework. The organizations also highlight the importance of policy coherence, ensuring that all efforts are aligned towards the common goal of eradicating forced labour.
The organizations endorse a proportionate, risk-based approach, and they support a system that allows companies to prioritize their due diligence efforts. The statement also refers to the principle of responsible disengagement, emphasizing the need for companies to take action when they identify instances of forced labour in their supply chains.
However, it's important to note that the search results do not provide specific information on which organizations have approved the declaration to ban products made with forced labor in the single market or the number of members these organizations have.
The organizations want the new legislation to be workable and effective, ensuring that it provides a practical solution to the issue of forced labour in the European Single Market. This joint statement marks a significant step towards a more ethical and responsible European Union.
