OSCE Compendium Database, an easy way to access information on prevention of labour exploitation in supply chains, now accessible online

On 15 February 2021, the Office of the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings, published an interactive online database, compendium of relevant reference materials and resources on ethical sourcing and prevention of trafficking in human beings for labour exploitation in supply chains.

The database contains over 300 resources that users can search for by year, organization, or document type. The online format allows easy access for government officials, businesses, and anti-trafficking practitioners interested in learning about current practices and the latest available tools.

The database will be updated regularly as new resources become available. 

Addressing the demand for cheap goods and services produced by trafficking victims across global supply chains is essential in the prevention of trafficking for forced labour.

The objective of the compendium is to take stock of existing legislation, policies, guidelines, recommendations, reports, studies, and other initiatives developed to better understand and respond to the large-scale problem of trafficking in human beings, through its prevention in supply chains.
