Join Our Official Virtual Side Session at the 6th Global Conference on Child Labour

Commitments to ending child labour are an important start—but how do we achieve impactful, scalable and lasting change in challenging and informal supply chain settings?

On February 11, join The Centre for Child Rights and Business and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) for an official online side session at the Sixth Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labour. We’re moving beyond the “what” and the “why” to focus on the “how.”

Using real-world case studies from copper and cobalt artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), we will unpack:

• The hidden drivers of child labour in informal and high-risk sourcing contexts

• Rights-holder-centred remediation approaches that deliver impacts for children and families

• How ICT supply chain leaders are using collective action to drive systemic change in raw materials supply chains

• Move beyond managing risk from a distance

• Learn how to drive impact where it matters most

Speakers include:

• Emily Potts, Modern Slavery Policy and Programme Officer, UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office

• Mark Robertson, Senior Vice President, The Centre for Child Rights and Business

• Nicola Grande, Sustainable Procurement Manager, Swisscom Group / Joint Alliance for Corporate Social Responsibility (JAC).

• Edouard Swana, ESG Manager at Tenke Fungurume Mining

• Ines Kaempfer, CEO, The Centre for Child Rights and Business

• Pam Nguz, Case Manager Coordinator Congo (DRC), Child Rights Action Hub
