Eradicating forced labour is a task that no one person, company, or organisation can achieve by acting alone. Our Human Rights Coalition is committed to engaging with key stakeholders to best develop its approach and implement it with the greatest impact.
To help HRC members deliver on their commitments, the HRC was pleased to announce it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Fair Labor Association (FLA) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in June 2021. FLA and IOM both provide strategic guidance and implementation support for the Coalition members in their three key projects.
The Coalition is also collaborating with several other stakeholder groups and industry associations to support its goals. The HRC works closely with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and is a key member of its Global Forum on Business and Human Rights. With AIM-Progress, the HRC released Guidance on the Repayment of Worker-Paid Recruitment Fees and Related Costs, inspired by similar guidance issued by Impactt.
The HRC has also hosted several stakeholder consultations to help develop its action plans and strategic documents, including its Maturity Journey Frameworks for the implementation of forced labour-focused human rights due diligence (HRDD) systems in members’ own operations and palm oil supply chains.
