The HACE Child Labour Network

Child Labour is a complex social challenge that we can only solve together.

The HACE Child Labour Network is a new professional community for organisations of all sizes and sectors. Members will come together regularly to collaboratively examine the root causes of Child Labour, share ideas proven to drive systemic change, and collectively influence the policy and regulatory frameworks that shape our industry.

By joining the Network, you become part of an action-oriented forum focused on making real progress, establishing best practice and proactively informing the future of Child Labour governance. The Network includes representatives from:

  • Companies

  • The investment community

  • Government bodies

  • Standard setters

  • Professional Services

  • NGOs

Functional Groups

The larger community promotes cross-departmental learning. However, our Functional Groups enable your team to engage directly with professional peers for impactful solutions.

Our Functional Groups are:

  • Legal

  • Procurement & Operations

  • Human Rights & Social Sustainability

  • Investor Relations & Finance

  • Marketing & PR

The Network’s goal is to transform individual insights into a cohesive, organisation-wide Child Labour strategy. Every function will be equipped with role-specific actions they can champion and implement, whether it's investor relations, managing Human Rights Due Diligence, or preparing for compliance obligations.
