Switzerland – 3rd – Forced labour & modern slavery

2.2 Updating the measures contained in the NAP 2020–2023

Measure 27: Promoting efforts to end all forms of child exploitation in supply chains

Since 1 January 2022, companies based in Switzerland have been required to comply with due diligence obligations as well as with reporting obligations if there is reasonable suspicion that the products or services they offer were produced or supplied with the involvement of child labour (see Article 964j ff.CO and DDTrO). The Federal Administration supports the implementation of these legal obligations by providing an analytical tool and cooperating with child labour-related platforms set up by international organisations.

The 2024-27 National Action Plan is supplemental to the 2020-23 NAP.
