This session aims to examine how businesses are innovating their strategies to tackle the root causes of child labour such as poverty, informality, social protection, and lack of access to education. By adopting collaborative models of interventions, including through advanced child labour monitoring and remediation systems (CLMRS), the session showcases more effective due diligence systems that identify household vulnerabilities of children in child labour and decent work deficits for parents and youth, and support evidence-based social dialogue on effective responses to child labour. The discussion will draw from real-world examples in key sectors, exploring collaborative models that, moving from compliance to a whole due-diligence-driven and systemic approach on the root causes of child labour, enhance leverage, ensure accountability, and drive sustainable change across supply chains. By fostering shared responsibility and evidence-based cooperation, these approaches can contribute to accelerating progress towards the elimination of child labour, serving as a bridge between corporate due diligence and public accountability systems.
