The ILO hasn't come up with a policy one way or the other, in favour or against such legislation, so I wouldn't be able to give an institutional perspective.
Just in our experience, transparency is critical. I would agree with Mr. Evans that the conversation has really evolved in important ways in recent years, coinciding with some of the laws that we've seen.
In terms of industry collaboration, it seems to me quite important that there be as few barriers as possible to sharing of information about supply chains, so that companies can reward the good actors. These are pre-competitive issues when it comes to child labour and forced labour in supply chains.
Of course, there are antitrust concerns, but at times those are overblown. There is more scope for sharing amongst companies about what's happening in their supply chains and how they're structured and who they work with.
The ILO hosts what's called the Child Labour Platform. This is a group of companies that come together under the Chatham House Rule of safe space for an exchange of information and experience on tackling child labour in supply chains—big companies such as Coca-Cola and Primark, from a variety of sectors such as mining firms. It's really in the interest of accelerating progress so that companies can learn from each other. A sector such as cocoa, which has been at it for quite some time, can provide its perspective so that mining firms and telecoms can benefit from that experience.
