Implementation: child labour prohibition policy + verification of age (national ID + birth certificate + biometric) + remediation procedures for identified child workers (rehabilitation + education return + family support) + supply chain due diligence + ILO-IPEC International Programme on Elimination of Child Labour + UNICEF cooperation. Hazardous work types: night work + underground work + heavy physical work + exposure to chemicals + dangerous machinery + extreme temperatures + isolation.

  • OECDMNE-1 Concepts and General Policies, Risk-Based Due Diligence Framework
  • UNGPBHR-2 Pillar II: Corporate Responsibility to Respect Human Rights
  • VPSHR-3 Implementation Guidance and Reporting

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
