This new study finds that EU’s supply chains are linked with 1.2 million cases of forced labour (across all sectors) and minerals specifically are responsible for major socio-environmental impacts mainly in South Asia, Asia-Pacific and Africa.

Join us on Wednesday 23 November for the launch of a new study on the impacts of EU imports of fossil and mineral materials. The study discusses EU’s policy priorities, domestically and internationally, and builds on the approaches and methods used for the textile (2020) and food (2021) spillover studies.
