The EU Forced Labour Regulation (EUFLR) introduces a significant new challenge for businesses operating across global supply chains. From 14 December 2027, products made with forced labour will be prohibited from being placed or made available on the EU market or exported from the EU. For companies, preparing for the regulation means identifying risks: they need reliable evidence, effective traceability and the ability to respond quickly and credibly to regulatory investigations.
Join LRQA for a hands-on webinar focused on the practical challenges of EUFLR readiness. Using real-world enforcement learnings from the U.S. and practical scenarios, our experts will explore how to identify gaps in existing due diligence processes, gather and document relevant evidence, and coordinate an effective response when forced-labour concerns arise. Leave with actionable insights to help strengthen your investigation readiness and turn existing processes into effective, defensible action.
What you will learn
- Understand the EUFLR in practice: Key arising requirements and how the EU approach compares with U.S. forced-labour enforcement.
- Strengthen EUFLR ready due diligence system: Identify gaps in existing responsible sourcing programmes, risk assessments and supply chain traceability.
- Build investigation readiness: Prepare the evidence, documentation, governance and internal response processes needed to address regulatory scrutiny.
