The Netherlands

A new report has been released publishing the findings of a multi-year study looking at how to reduce child labor in the supply chains of apparel companies doing business in The Netherlands. The investigation was initiated in 2015 by the Dutch multi-stakeholder “Working Group on Child Labor” and looked at the supply chain practices of 7 companies who sourced from Turkey and sold products in The Netherlands. The group says that confronting child labor will require collaborative efforts from all involved to accurately map supply chains in a trustworthy and transparent way.(Sourcing Journal)
