@Europarl_EN has voted and given its final approval to tackle forced labor in supply chains. This regulation will allow the EU to prohibit the sale, import, and export of goods made using forced labor. It's time to join YESS to ensure compliance with labor laws globally!

We invite all involved stakeholders to join YESS! It is a thoughtful, collaborative, and risk-based approach. It is crucial to have the entire value chain represented in order to assess, prevent, and mitigate forced labor involved with cotton production: bit.ly/47jUUo0

📢The #EU #ForcedLabourRegulation reached a deal this morning, and we are one step closer to a world without slavery. We are thrilled to see the Regulation pass this milestone vote, as it's essential to ensuring that goods made with forced labour cannot be traded on the EU market

During a discussion about the role of certification in supply chains at the conference for @OECD_BizFin, @anantahuja43 from Shahi Exports mentioned that “By managing our risk, like we are doing with YESS, we are able to build trust with our customers”: bit.ly/3OXWZ2K
