The EU Forced Labour Regulation applies across all industries and covers:

– All economic operators placing products on the EU market or exporting from it, regardless of size or sector
– Products at any stage of production, including raw materials, components, finished goods and online/distance sales
– Forced labour occurring anywhere in the supply chain, inside or outside the EU, following the ILO definition

Companies need a due diligence process capable of detecting and responding to forced labour risks across their value chains. They must be able to demonstrate credible risk assessment, traceability efforts and mitigation measures when requested by authorities.

Meo Carbon Solutions supports organisations by mapping risk hotspots, strengthening supplier engagement and building due diligence systems that align with EU expectations.
