EU Forced Labour Regulation readiness tool

From December 2027, authorities can investigate products suspected of being made with forced labour and order them withdrawn from the EU market. The tool combines a commodity and country risk map, 37 due diligence questions mapped to the 11 ILO forced labour indicators, an automatic gap analysis and a complaint response planner.

For compliance, procurement and sustainability teams preparing for enforcement. It runs in the browser and no data leaves it.

BioTrade Africa crop intelligence atlas

Maps the commercial and ecological footprint of 21 high-value African crops, from shea and gum arabic to vanilla, rooibos and wild nutmeg: where production is concentrated, where expansion potential lies, and what that means at scale. Four lenses read the same geography through market share, rural jobs, carbon sequestration and biodiversity.

For BioTrade practitioners, investors, development agencies and governments deciding where ecological value, market opportunity and livelihoods coincide.

US imports associated with child labour

An interactive dashboard of how child labour may be present in US imports between 2019 and 2023, by product and by country and region of origin. A small number of goods and origins concentrate most of the risk, which points to where targeted interventions would count most.

For policymakers, journalists and researchers tracing the United States’ exposure to child labour in trade, and for comparison with the EU explorer below.

Grievance mechanisms and remedy map

A global map of the organisations that facilitate access to remedy for business-related harm, whether directly or indirectly: non-judicial grievance mechanisms, their operators, and the bodies that support them.

For rightsholders, their representatives and companies looking for who provides remedy where, and for researchers examining gaps in access.

Interactive policy tool · Trade policy

Trade conditionality guide

Which policy instruments should an importing country apply to reduce child labour in the goods it buys? The guide applies a progressive four-zone framework by the exporting country’s GDP per capita: unconditional aid only below $3,000; aid tied to performance up to $7,000; conditional market access and time-bound roadmaps up to $11,000; and targeted import bans, procurement exclusions and blacklisting above that. Unconditional bans on poorer countries risk deepening poverty and increasing child labour.

Search or click any country to see its zone, the commodities flagged in the US Department of Labor lists, and the recommended instruments. Countries under international sanctions are flagged separately, and the tool states its own limits: it takes the perspective of child labour reduction alone.

Corporate Due Diligence Monitor

An interactive companion to the study of Germany’s Supply Chain Due Diligence Act, which analysed all 313 publicly available reports from 254 companies in the law’s first reporting phase, around 42,000 data points. The monitor lets users explore how companies report on risk management, risk analysis, prevention, remediation and grievance mechanisms.

For companies comparing their own due diligence with their sector, for policymakers and civil society following implementation of the law, and for researchers.

Fairtrade risk assessment tool for hired labour organisations

An Excel tool that walks plantations and other hired labour organisations through a basic HREDD risk assessment: mapping the risks common to their country and products from the Fairtrade Risk Map, assessing their own operations against mapping indicators, identifying the most salient issues, and finding the most vulnerable groups. It accompanies Fairtrade’s HREDD guide for hired labour organisations, which DI co-authored.

For Fairtrade-certified plantations and estates meeting the HREDD requirements of the Hired Labour Standard, phased in from 2025 to 2027.

Reporting template · Cross-sector

Electronic Labor Rights Template (eLRT)

A free, open-access, Excel-based business-to-business reporting template for anti-slavery and human trafficking compliance. It translates seven US, EU and UK laws into 21 core reporting indicators, structured along the OECD’s five-step due diligence framework, so that companies can collect standardised information from suppliers. It grew out of DI’s 2016 framework on corporate liabilities for modern slavery in supply and service chains.

For companies and suppliers exchanging labour rights information along the chain. Recommended by GRI and the Responsible Labor Initiative in their 2019 modern slavery reporting toolkit, and still in use.

Your child labour handprint

Companies affect whether households send children to work through six economic pathways, from wages and procurement terms to taxation, community investment and capital flows. The tool lets a company see which pathways its practices activate and where its spending goes, relative to where the evidence says it would do most good.

For companies and their advisers deciding how to tackle the root causes of child labour.
