Realising remedy: lessons learned from the collaboration between Electronics Watch and GIZ
Remedy is an essential but often overlooked element of corporate due diligence. To tackle this gap, Electronics Watch and the GIZ Initiative for Global Solidarity (IGS) collaborated between 2022 to 2024 to improve workers' access to an effective grievance mechanism in electronics supply chains.
During the project, 24 factories employing a total of 135,335 workers were monitored in four different countries across Asia. In cooperation with civil society organisations and trade unions more than 125,000 workers were offered access to independent grievance channels.
Some valuable lessons about remedy for workers who suffer harm from business practices arose from this project. As we conclude our hugely positive collaboration with IGS, we are pleased to share them here in this joint publication: you can read it here.
