EU Forced Labor Regulation Decoded

Forced labour is moving to the top of the regulatory agenda, and enforcement is following close behind. In this webinar, together with Cattwyk, we unpack what that means for companies operating global supply chains.

We look at what legally constitutes forced labour and how the scope of application is defined, and why effective due diligence matters even though no standalone due diligence duty exists, given the investigative and enforcement powers authorities now hold. Finally, we show how osapiens HUB helps you turn these obligations into a practical, integrated compliance approach.

In this webinar, we will cover:

• What is forced labour: definition, legal framework, and scope of application
• Corporate obligations: why effective due diligence is key despite the absence of standalone duties
• Competent authorities & enforcement: who investigates, gathers evidence, and restricts products
• Evidentiary standard: how authorities assess risk and establish links to forced labour
• Practical next steps: assessing exposure, strengthening supply chain transparency, and implementing product and supplier screening
• How osapiens HUB supports companies in assessing risk and building screening processes across their supply chain
