Reseller-public buyer dialogue summary 4

December 2025

This document provides a summary of the reseller/public buyer meeting held on 18 September 2025. It explored leverage derrived from contractual obligations, commercial influence, reputational considerations, relationships and knowledge. Participating resellers and public buyers shared proactive steps that they can take—both respectively and jointly—to use their leverage to strengthen human rights in the supply chain. They also discussed opportunities to pursue specific improvements together with major brands.

A summary of the first and second meetings in the series, held in October and March 2025, can be found here and here. Because there was not consensus among participants on what to report, a public summary of the third meeting (April 2025) is not available.
