Overview
The Forum aims to align governments and industry initiatives on business expectations under the OECD Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains in the garment and footwear sector.
In this annual Forum, sector stakeholders have the opportunity to explore practical solutions for meeting new regulatory due diligence requirements by building on existing effective practices and standards, including the OECD Garment & Footwear Due Diligence Guidance. The Forum facilitates multi-stakeholder discussions on the opportunities, risks, and challenges associated with implementing both mandatory and voluntary due diligence approaches.
In February 2025, the Forum took place in Paris, with virtual side sessions in the days before and after the in-person event.
