As part of the ElectroPower project, Electronics Watch has delivered training sessions to migrant workers, trade union organisers and civil society representatives in Thailand and Indonesia. Jointly organised with IndustriALL South East Asia, IndustriALL local affiliates, and monitoring partners, the Labour Rights Foundation (LRF) and Inkrispena, the training focused on understanding and addressing forced labour.

The Office of Government Procurement (OGP), responsible for public procurement policy and Central Purchasing Body for ICT products (among other categories) in Ireland, has recently affiliated to Electronics Watch.

Electronics Watch is expanding the scope of its affiliation model to include low emission vehicles (LEV), a major step forward in our efforts to advance responsible public procurement. From January 2026, public buyers will be able to affiliate to Electronics Watch for one or both purchasing categories, electronics and/or automotive.

Read our latest case study, which shares lessons learned from a market engagement event organised as part of the Low Emission Vehicle Programme (LEVP).

Our latest Impact Story explores how ongoing multistakeholder engagement improved conditions for migrant workers, who were living in overcrowded, unhygienic dormitories at a factory in Malaysia.

Our annual end-of-year event has become a much-anticipated moment in the public procurement and human rights calendar. While last year we gathered in Brussels for an in-person conference, every other year we go online to make sure everyone can join us. And this year we have an extra reason to celebrate — it's our 10th anniversary!

Electronics Watch is delighted to welcome Transport for NSW (TfNSW), the lead agency of the New South Wales Transport cluster in Australia, to our Low Emission Vehicles (LEV) Programme and, starting next year, as an affiliate.

As part of its support for worker-led initiatives tackling forced labour, the ElectroPower project is offering grants to groups that promote fair and safe working conditions in Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia.

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.

The practice of human rights due diligence has been the theme of 2024. Our Annual Report focused on its prerequisites: increasing supply chain transparency for workers and public buyers; collecting credible evidence for rights violations; and coordinating meaningful engagement with workers and their representatives to remedy rights violations in public supply chains.
