Overview
The annual forum brings together representatives from government, business, trade unions, civil society, international organisations and academia. A common denominator of the discussions is the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment and Footwear Sector. The forum also plays a role in supporting alignment across governments and industry initiatives on expectations of business.
In February 2026, the Forum took place in Paris, with virtual side sessions in the days before and after the in-person event.
