In 2021 the pandemic continued to bring hardships to workers in the electronics industry. Our monitoring partners strengthened remote monitoring methods and focused their support on the most vulnerable. We planned and built capacity for future challenges, adopting a new three-year strategic plan. We organised a series of activities about the most fundamental of labour rights – freedom of association. We strengthened our industry engagement model by negotiating terms of engagement with the Responsible Business Alliance. To find out more, take a look at our Annual Report 2021.

Welcome to our three-year strategic plan, 2021-2023. We hope that you will share and participate in our plan to harness the power of public procurement to defend the rights of workers in electronics supply chains. Electronics Watch is grateful to the more than 40 advisors including public buyers, human rights experts, and labour rights monitoring partners who contributed their time and insight to this strategic plan.

The pandemic year of 2020 has brought monumental hardship to workers everywhere. Lockdowns, homeworking and social distancing have made screens our main means of communication. Those producing these screens and related hardware have all too often laboured unprotected, and been denied a voice about their own health and safety. Their realities have been defined by insecurity and exclusion. For this reason, 2020 has also been a year Electronics Watch took on great challenges. We invite you to peruse the highlights of our achievements in this Annual Report.

Electronics Watch presents to you a three-year strategic plan which we believe best harnesses and expands the unique capacities of the organisation to achieve our mission: To help public sector organisations work together and collaborate with civil society monitors to protect the rights of workers in their electronics supply chains.
