Electronics Watch's mission is to use public procurement leverage to promote and protect the rights of workers in global supply chains.
Public buyers exercising social responsibility
Civil society organisations and democratic trade unions supporting workers in attaining their rights
Employers complying fully with domestic and international labour rights and safety standards
Brand companies and resellers disclosing suppliers and compliance data and taking effective action to remedy labour rights and safety breaches in their supply chains
One of Electronics Watch's strategic goals is for workers to exercise their right to organise and access remedy. Affiliated public buyers use their leverage to promote freedom of association and collective bargaining in their supply chains. This includes enabling access for trade unions to organise and represent workers collectively, and address union busting.
In a significant step towards responsible public procurement and the protection of human rights, Tarragona City Council has become the third municipality in Catalonia to affiliate to Electronics Watch.
Electronics Watch is pleased to serve as the secretariat for three public buyer working groups collaborating to strengthen corporate accountability and promote the effective implementation of human rights due diligence (HRDD).
